My sister, Stephanie, sent me this recipe to share this summer when our veggies started coming in… well they’re in! It looked so yummy I had to try it when we finally got our first tomatoes. Might I say…DELICIOUS, you have to try it for yourself! Last week my friend, Valerie, pass along the same recipe… […]
Something to think about making with your fresh strawberries… since the strawberry season has been in full swing I have been busy making fresh ice cream and shortcake for the grandkids, pies for Kenny and jam for the market. I decided to freeze some for the winter and thought about making some sorbet for myself. This […]
Strawberry Balsamic Jam While rummaging through some old cookbooks this week I ran across several unusual jelly and jam recipes. I decided to try experimenting with some today and this is what I came up with. When mom and I were in Italy a few years ago I picked up this wonderful bottle of Balsamic Vinegar. This with our berries from […]
Someone shared this with me sometime back and I never got around to making it until last night. I was a little skeptical due to the unusual ingredients but since they were all familiar and I had them readily available why not try it. I was truly amazed how wonderful it turned out, Kenny loved it as well. 6 […]
I tried this with our plums this year, it’s almost ready… I’m in the process of straining and bottling now. I think it will make excellent Christmas gifts if I ever get finished straining and get it labeled. It looks beautiful and taste even better. It’s definitely worth making if you ever get the opportunity. 2 […]
I don’t usually follow a recipe, but wrote one down this time so I could share. The amount of sugar used will depend on the type of apples used. I have cooked these for years with apples we have leftover, and are on their way to the compost pile… ripe but not quite there. These […]
If you are fortunate enough to have a friend like mine, Valerie Shealy, you would have fresh South Carolina pecans for this Thanksgiving recipe. While visiting her a while back she offered me some fresh organic pecans, of course being the pecan hound that I am, I accepted; and am now making a rich, delicious, and […]
You probably take pumpkin pie from canned pumpkin for granted. You’re there, the can is there, there’s a pumpkin on the label… open it and mix it up with spices to make a pie, right? Ah, but a pumpkin pie made from a fresh pumpkin tastes so much better than the glop that was processed […]
One of our customers asked that I might post a few of my recipes we have at our Thanksgiving dinners, so I thought I might abide that request. Here is another family favorite… it is so quick and easy to prepare and usually I have everything I need on hand. It’s cabbage season so they are always […]
This recipe was actually taken from Mary C. Crowley’s “Hostess Delights” Cookbook that I received many years ago. Mary C. Crowley was the founder and President of Home Interiors & Gifts, Inc and my aunt “Jo” worked with her for years. Jo gave me a copy of this wonderful cookbook, and it has been a […]
