Strawberry Lemon Marmalade
I really enjoy strawberry recipes with a hint of tartness, like eating a fresh strawberry. That's why you add lemon to this Strawberry Lemon Marmalade.
Tarty Rhubarb-Thyme Compote
My mother often made a rhubarb sauce in the spring to have on hand as a treat, usually with vanilla ice cream. Rhubarb is often paired with strawberries to temper its tartness, but as I get older, I appreciate a bit of tartiness in a woman (or a man, for that matter), and certainly in my compote. Although thyme is usually served in savory dishes, with rhubarb it adds an earthiness and depth of flavor that takes this beyond a typical sweet treat. In this super simple recipe, the thyme flavor is subtle because I still want the rhubarb to be the star of the show, but you could play with it to suit your taste. I love this compote best for breakfast spooned on toast, over a scone, on pancakes, or swirled into yogurt. But Mom was on to something pairing it with vanilla ice cream. - Margy@hidethecheese
