Seven Minutes to Heavenly Raspberry Jam
As a midwesterner, I am all about canning. There's something magical about taking the garden's delicious summer bounty and turning it into something that can be enjoyed throughout the year (homemade tomato sauce, I'm looking at you). Sometimes your raspberry bush doesn't produce enough berries to do a whole canned batch. Sometimes you eat them all. On occasion, the farmers market offers you a perfect pint that is so delicious you want (need) to find a way to prolong the magic. And thus, the seven minute jam. Fast. Easy. Yum.
Cherry Drop
This summertime cocktail is a cross between a classic lemon drop and an aviation--The addition of a heavenly Luxardo maraschino cherry and a splash of homemade selzer water softens the strong flavors of the lemon and vodka and gives a nice softness to the sugary simple syrup. This drink is fantastic served in a martini glass with the cherry resting at the bottom, or over ice. I coat the rim of each glass with lemon juice and sugar, or as requested on one very festive day--pop rocks candy!
Fresh Almond Salad
The taste of Fresh Almonds is pure freshness, the essence of springtime in one small package. Lemon is lovely in recipes that brighten the almond’s flavor.
Homemade Mascarpone
Every time I make this, I'm surprised at how much better it tastes than store bought domestic mascarpone. When sourcing your heavy cream for this recipe, do try to stay away from ultra pasteurized cream. I have found that it inhibits the thickening. Adapted from my Lemon Posset recipe.
Goat Milk Ricotta Cheese
Making your own ricotta cheese is ridiculously simple. In this recipe, switched it up by using fresh goat milk, which you can get in most grocery stores now.
Red, White and Blue Chipotle Dip
I was trying to figure out what to do with Blue corn chips because I was tired of eating them with just Salsa. I wanted something that was spicy, cool, thick and smokey.
grilled apple slices with prosciutto & cheddar
In this Prosciutto Wrapped Apples recipe the nutritional fiber from the apples and protein from the cheese and prosciutto will keep you satisfied. Try it!
Garbanzo Chickpea Gravy
I used this recipe to liven up my tofu and veggies. Twenty years later, I am no longer meat-free, but I still turn to this lip-smacking chickpea gravy.
Strawberry Preserves: for when you feel like having magic (or a delicious memory) for breakfast
When I was 8 we met my mother's Aunt Frances for brunch at a French restaurant. Aunt Frances was a very distinguished woman who never seemed to age in all of her 90-something years. She would offer you a cocktail upon entering her Upper East Side apartment (even if it was barely 11 am) and she wore her black hair in a chignon until the end. I still remember that brunch-- eating a hot baguette spread with butter and strawberry jam with my chin barely above the crumb covered white tablecloth. It tasted like magic-- and somehow this simple combination of flavors and textures continues to taste like magic even now.
Rootin’ Tootin’ Radish Salad
This is an play on tatziki sauce. Here slices of radishes are enveloped in soft clouds of sweet and creamy sour cream. This dish can be served along side of grilled kabobs, or eaten by its self. You can use greek yogurt instead of sour cream, it will add a bit of tanginess.
Spicy Cajun Remoulade Sauce
This spicy cajun remoulade sauce recipe gets its kick from a combination of spicy brown mustard and prepared horseradish. Mustard is my secret ingredient.
Tomato Sandwich
It's early here for tomatoes--- we haven't yet gotten them in our CSA box-- but fortunately there's a small farmer near us who has just started selling his tomatoes--and they are wonderful. Tomato season is so short here in the Northeast, and the tomatoes are so amazing, that all I want to do is salt them and eat them. Or have them in a sandwich. Which I do--frequently. A tomato sandwich is really best when the tomatoes are fresh picked and still warm from the garden. Slice them thickly, use the best bread you can find, and enjoy. Summer is short in these parts---this is pure pleasure.
Fresh Summer Salad
I made this recipe up while spending a hot summer in Virginia, looking for something cool and refreshing to eat. It works with any dressing or spices you may want to add, so it can appeal to anyone, or be slightly different each time you make it! I have enjoyed it with some added ranch or chili flavors. An easy way to add flavor is to buy pre-seasoned almonds.
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.
Strawberry Rose Coulis...with 3 suggestions.
Champagne Coulis recipe with a wee bit of rose water tastes like love to me, sweet, bright with an sly sensuous perfume wafting hopefully in the background.
Watermelonade
My sister and some friends recently threw me a lovely bridal shower. The food, provided by Go Catering, was delicious. Happy guests devoured crudités, curried chicken salad, mini grilled cheese sandwiches with bacon, sausage rolls, and homemade currant and ginger scones with clotted cream and raspberry jam. To drink, there was a crisp rosé and a refreshing concoction of fresh watermelon, lemon, sugar and water known as "watermelonade." Apparently, it's one of the caterer's specialties, and everyone raved about the juicy, pink drink. This past weekend, I couldn't resist attempting it myself.
Meyer Lemon and Ginger Sorbet
Meyer lemon is so distinctive that it deserves to stand on its own. And it does in this Meyer lemon and ginger sorbet recipe--It's refreshing, tart, & perfect.
Meyer Lemon Shandy
I spent last year studying in London, and on hot summer days, my roommate and I used to sit outside on our patio, or in one of the beautiful public parks in London (hurrah for lack of public drinking bans!) and drink shandy, a delicious mix of lager and lemonade. I've updated the recipe to use Meyer lemons, which are available at my local market these days, but regular lemons work just fine! - ChristineB
Lemon Posset
This Lemon Posset recipe is a wonder of science. It's the perfect thing for anyone who harbors a weakness for this sort of milky, comforting, nursery-food.
Milk "Mayonnaise" (Maionese de Leite)
This recipe is based on an irresistible sauce I tried while in Spain. It was a mayonnaise made with milk and oil and no egg. There's garlic & tang from lemon.
eggs and baskets
This is more of an idea than an actual recipe, so I am including the what and you can determin the how much / how many based on what your need is - I love serving this tray of treats at parties because each little bite packs a real flavor punch, plus, they're cute! May I suggest serving blood orange mimosas with them?
Port Wine Jelly
How could I post an Italian Wine Jelly without posting the most subttle of all the Jellies - Port wine. Well, being Portuguese and living in Italy does make me cook very different things so here is the Port Wine Jelly. Serve with red meat, grilled or roasted. Also is fabulous to brush on the meat when it is cooked and leave covered with aluminium foil to rest.
Vernaccia Wine Jelly
Wine jelly is one of my favourite sauces to serve with a good mature cheese like Pecorino. It is also very nice to serve with roasted or grilled poultry or pork meat. I make wine jellies of many kinds, this is one of my favourites. Vernaccia is a white wine from the San Gimignano region in Tuscany and this jelly has a lot of flavour and the taste of the Vernaccia is exquisite.
Whole Preserved Lemons
