Summer Fruit “Crudo” with Basil

apricot preserves, Bing cherries, fresh herbs, lime juice, lime zest, Mango, Peaches, Strawberries

Summer Fruit "Crudo" with BasilThis should probably be called a salsa.  But then most people conjure up a flavor profile of tomatoes, onions, peppers, with maybe a bit of fruit tossed in.  That’s not this…at all.  I’m serving this with very simply prepared fish, but it’s all about the fruit mixture.  I could seriously eat the whole bowl.  Just standing there, leaning up against the cupboard…it’s that good.  Continue reading →

lemon juice, Strawberries, strawberry gelatin, white sugar, xanthan gum

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is 075.jpgOnce you’ve eaten freezer jam, you’ll never go back.  The color is spectacularly red and sparkling, but the flavor is unbelievable.  Smearing some strawberry freezer jam (or preserves) on a scone, on Christmas morning, is the best Christmas gift you can give yourself or your family.  Make room in your freezer….

arrowroot, bell pepper, cider vinegar, Corn, onion, plum tomatoes, Spices, tomato paste, white sugar, zucchini

“The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye”, so the song goes.  It’s the perfect time to make a little corn relish.  The zucchini are still bearing, the peppers are starting to bear and the corn…oh God, the corn!  It’s so delicious fresh, but it’s nice to have a few jars of corn relish tucked away for later.  Continue reading →

Spiced Peach-Tomato Chutney

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

ginger root, ketchup, Mango, orange juice, Peaches, Peppers, red onion, Spices, Tomatoes, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce

This isn’t exactly a chutney.  It’s really a cross between a chutney and a relish.  It’s sweet and sour.  It’s fruity, but with a hit of savory because of the Worcestershire and vinegar.  You know, it really doesn’t matter what we call it.  What matters is that it’s delicious!  Continue reading →

I have no idea if you would ever find this on a dinner table in Turkey.  But, it has those flavors and I think, any Turkish cook might approve.  For me, this is a stand-over-the-sink-and-eat-with-a-spoon-type of condiment.  Continue reading →

This is one of those wonderful seasoning blends that you’ll use on all sorts of things.  Herb Salt makes pretty much everything taste better, particularly potatoes.  But, don’t limit yourself.  Try it on everything…you might want to spare that cheesecake, but if it’s savory…. Continue reading →

cilantro, Garlic, lime juice, milk, oil

As I may have mentioned a couple of times, The Goddess loves, loves, loves garlic.  Is there such a thing as too much garlic?  She thinks not.  If garlic isn’t your thing, you need to stop reading right now.  Go do something else and wait for the next post.  But, if garlic is your thing, then read on, my friend, read on.   Continue reading →
