balsamic vinegar, frozen orange juice concentrate, pink peppercorns, Strawberries, strawberry gelatin

Strawberry Dessert SauceIt’s always good to have a nice dessert sauce in your repertoire.  This is absolutely spectacular made with local berries, when they’re in season, like right now.  And you must slice the berries, sprinkle them with a bit of sugar and that’s all you need.  But, some years, the berries aren’t quite as sweet.  Continue reading →

Spicy Pumpkin Pie Rice PuddingAt our house, rice pudding is a HUGE comfort food.  Right up there with tapioca pudding, but that’s another post.  And then, there’s pumpkin pie, all spicy and creamy.  And around this time of year, pumpkin pops up in everything, so I decided to combine these two comforts.  Why not?  And just in time for Thanksgiving, too.  Continue reading →
