Mayo-less BLT
In summer when the garden is overflowing with tomatoes and basil, we seldom eat anything but BLT sandwiches, with or without the bacon. We've tried many variants, including sliced avocado, peppered bacon and horseradish, but this one is our favorite. Try with green zebra tomatoes.
Pickled hot, sweet chili peppers and onions
This recipe is consisted of a variety of hot & sweet chili peppers with Vidalia onion and Chile Threads, to make some pickled toppings perfect for the Banh mi.
Pepper butter
This recipe will teach you How To Make Pepper Butter. It's a simple but good condiment. It takes the essence of the chili and smooths it out to a delicious end.
Squash Blossom and Garlic Frittata
Somewhere, in a book, I read about how Italians make frittatas with zucchini blossoms. Because they can. And over the years I've been training myself to make thinner frittatas with fewer ingredients and to let them cool to room temperature, like Italians do. Because everything they do seems better than what we do. - Amanda
Sweet & Tart Relish
A friend of ours procured a five pound hunk of porchetta that we roasted for a dinner party that was screaming for something bright to balance out the richness of the meat. We just got our annual shipment of sweet onions from Walla Walla, and with the appearance of sour cherries at Chicago farmers markets, I felt that I was on to something magical. The resulting relish was the perfect accompaniment to the pork, and I'm itching to try the leftovers on grilled salmon.
Sarah K's Greengage Plum Jam
I listed the instructions exactly as I made the greengage plum jam recipe. A food pickle recipe from the word go. Thank you Sarah K for the idea & instructions!
Cherise's Special
Sorry for the stock photo...in the process of moving and just joined...just got back from Antigua and the bartender, Cherise, made a fantastic, blue, frozen concoction she served in a martini glass. After doing some reasearch, it's very close to a frozen blue hawaiian. The raspberry drizzle compliments the otherwise tropical flavors and adds a pleasant contrast to the vibrant blue.
Mint Iced Tea
You don't need much in order to make this Mint Iced Tea recipe. Basically just use tea bags, sugar, water and lots of fresh mint leaves. Lemon is optional.
Sugar Cane and Ginger Infused Vodka
I love infusing my own Vodka from cucumber to cinnamon to Sugarcane Juice (in this recipe). Pairing them with foods is even more fun than infusing them. Cheers!
Poor Man's Truffle Salt
This is the poor man's version of Truffle Salt. Just as delicious for a fraction of the price. This recipe uses dried shiitake mushrooms and black truffle oil.
Raspberry Lemon Balm Jam
This raspberry lemon balm jam recipe is so good! You will never go back to store bought jam again.
Raspberry Butter
This is something I make with my kids. They love it on a warm hunk of bread. They have been known to fill a crock and give it as a gift for an "I love you" surprise :)
Oma Jam
This is the jam I was raised on and when I was old enough, to actually help out in the kitchen, I had the honor of helping my Oma make this jam. If it was a good year for the raspberries we would pick them from our garden, but otherwise we would buy trays of them from the local farm stands. This is an easy, no stove, freezer jam that can be put on anything and everything, some recommendations include: dutch babies, pancakes, toast, muffins, ice cream, yogurt... you get the idea. - clermontkitchen
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.
Boozy Sour Cherries
This recipe's little boozy sour cherries are both tart and sweet at the same time and would be the perfect garnish for a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned.
Summer Fruit Fool
Light and summery, this dessert is perfect for hot days. It is so easy my four-year old made most of it - that is why it is decorated with Cadbury's chocolate buttons.
Raw Sweet Corn Tossed with Buttermilk and Herbs
Five ingredients, three minutes of prep time, and bold, brilliant flavor. . . . my favorite kind of summer food! Use whatever fresh herbs you like here. Dill's tartness works well with the intense sweetness of fresh raw corn, though I also like marjoram, thyme and parsley here. NB however that marjoram can be tricky. Though gentle in braises and soup, it asserts itself when raw, especially if you pick it from a plant that's been in full sun. So go easy on it, using just a bit at first. I recommend letting this stand for a while before eating. We use this as a condiment, spooning it on wraps made with fresh-off-the griddle roti, a few pieces of butter lettuce, and dukkah-dusted fried fish or grilled chicken. Incidentally, this recipe also works well with lightly cooked corn, if you happen to have some on hand. So enjoy!! ;o)
Chicken Piri-Piri
Grilled chicken piri-piri is another classic Portuguese recipe, and great for summer. The chicken is fabulous cold and ideal for picnics or a summer dinner.
Meyer Lemon Key Lime Marmalade
Amazingly delicious Key Lime Marmalade recipe that tastes like you've spread your favorite lemon-lime artificially-sweetened carbonated beverage on your toast.
Pink Lavender-Lemon [Very] Simple Syrup
The lemon juice reacts with the lavender and makes the syrup turn a light pink.
Garlic Scape Croutons
Next year I plan to grow more hardnecks…
Basic Cilantro & mint chutney
Jambon Beurre Sandwich
My favorite street food recipe when I visit Paris is the Jambon Beurre Sandwich. Ham, good butter, gruyere cheese, accented by dijon - all on a crusty baguette.
Socca with Sesame and Cilantro
I once read an article about the socca of Nice and always thought I needed to try it someday. Preferably by visiting in person, but today I traveled there via my taste buds. Socca is two ingredients plus water and salt and pepper, how great is that, especially when it tastes so good! Anyway I hope to someday try the real thing, with iced rose wine as the internet leads me to believe is the way to enjoy it. I am offering a variation on the socca theme, but really the two-ingredient version is pretty amazing! - Sadassa_Ulna
