Phyllis' Chocolate Syrup

Sun, 10 Dec 2006 21:38:54 -0500

This is a childhood favorite of mine. Aunt Phyllis made her famous biscuits and this Chocolate Syrup was served warm over the biscuits. This one is different from any I've seen here on Zaar. It's more of a syrup than a gravy. I recently got her to tell me how to make this. Now I make it for my boys to enjoy! It's so simple and delicious. -- posted by Vseward (Chef~V)

Amlou

Wed, 06 Jun 2007 23:01:44 -0400

I tasted, well in fact fed myself almost completely on, amlou during my trip to Morocco 2 years ago. It requires one hard to find ingredient, the argan oil which posess a very distinctive nutty taste. Say one was to make this recipe without argan oil I might, and I stress I only *might*, recommand grilled sesame oil but I would be very sad about the whole thing. The best is to dip freshly baked bread in amlou and drink mint tea with it... you'd think you'd died and went to heaven. Or Morocco, which is close enough. -- posted by Geist

Blueberry-Sage-Ginger Jam

Mon, 23 Jul 2007 22:02:45 -0400

This blueberry jam is flavored with fresh sage and freshly grated ginger. In this method I use Dr. Oetker's "Gelling Sugar", which already contains pectin. The "Super Gelling Sugar 3:1" reduces the amount of needed sugar to 1/3 of the fruit weight. This makes the jam not so sweet and very fruity and fresh. -- posted by Thorsten

Strawberry-Lavender Jam

Mon, 23 Jul 2007 23:09:12 -0400

Strawberries and lavender are a wonderful combination. Not only that the jam is tasting great, it has also a great flavor, which fills the air, when you open the glass. Can there be something better than breakfast with such a jam? In this method I use Dr. Oetker's "Gelling Sugar", which already contains pectin. The "Super Gelling Sugar 3:1" reduces the amount of needed sugar to 1/3 of the fruit weight. This makes the jam not so sweet and very fruity and fresh. This jam is best when made with fresh lavender inflorescences while still flowering. I have enough lavender in the garden. -- posted by Thorsten

Strawberry-Basil Jam

Tue, 31 Jul 2007 13:03:05 -0400

Strawberry and Basil are a wonderful combination. The sweetness of the strawberries goes well together with the herbal flavors of basil. The lime adds the freshness, which I like about this jam. I'm using here the "Super Gelling Sugar" from Dr. Oetker (German brand), which makes it possible to reduce the sugar amount to 1/3 of fruit weigth. -- posted by Thorsten

Lime Jam With Ginger and Vanilla

Tue, 31 Jul 2007 15:23:36 -0400

I love limes. Their fuityness is awesome. This jam catches the full flavor of lime. The dry white wine adds even more fruity notes. The ginger in here combines the fruit with s hint of delicate sharpness. It will be completed by vanilla, which holds the flavors all together without being recognized at first. This is true suummer jam, fresh and fruity. It is a bit of work, because you have to press out the juice of the limes, but it is worthwhile. I love it. Add some of this jam to a plain yogurt and you will have an awesome fruit yogurt. Wonderful on a slice of toasted bread. I could eat it as it is too. -- posted by Thorsten

Apricot and Poppy Seed Jam

Mon, 06 Aug 2007 16:56:16 -0400

A simple and delicious combination: fully riped apricots and poppy seeds. To make it fruity I used lime juice and Dr. Oetker's super gelling sugar 1:3. With this gelling sugar you only need 1/3 of the fruit weight to make the jam. -- posted by Thorsten

Mon, 06 Aug 2007 18:00:46 -0400

Love it. Wished I had more gooseberries. As soon as I will get gooseberries I will make this jam again. For this jam I use Dr. Oetker's super gelling sugar 1:3. With this gelling sugar you only need 1/3 of the fruit weight to make the jam. -- posted by Thorsten

Mirabelle-Rosemary Jam

Tue, 07 Aug 2007 23:04:41 -0400

Mirabelles (also called sometimes yellow plums) are not as tart as plums can be. These small fruit goes well together with a herb like rosemary. To balance the flavors I add here vanilla, which helps to blend the flavors well without being dominating. To make it fruity I add lime juice and use again the Dr. Oetker's super gelling sugar 3:1. This sugar contains already pectin and you need on 1/3 of the fruit weight as additional sugar. The taste? I love it! -- posted by Thorsten

Nectarine-Coffee Jam

Thu, 16 Aug 2007 14:57:18 -0400

Something really addictive. The sweetness of the nectarines falvored by coffee. As I don't like to sweet jams I use "Dr. Oetker's Super Gelling Sugar 3:1" (German Brand). It already contains pectin and you can reduce sugar to 1/3 of fruit weight. -- posted by Thorsten

Nutmeg Syrup

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 21:20:50 -0400

Warm nutmeg syrup tastes great drizzled over frozen vanilla yogurt, pancakes or waffles. The longer you heat the sugar-water mixture, the more the liquid evaporates - and the thicker, more concentrated the syrup. There is a point of no return, however, when you end up with hard, brittle, pseudo-candy, so don't walk away from the stove when preparing this. If you want a really dark-colored syrup, use dark brown sugar; for a golden, maple syrup shade, use light brown sugar. From the "Caribbean Light" cookbook. -- posted by ~Jen~

I get this yogurt in a local Indian grocery store, and I'm sure you can find it in any Parkistini, Middle Eastern or Greek grocery stores as well. This type of yogurt is much richer and thicker. Please be sure to use whole-milk but not fat-free yogurt. I like my creamy cheese to have very strong flavor so I put extra amount for this recipe but you may adjust to half to your liking. -- posted by Poison_Ivy

Homemade Vanilla Yogurt (Easier then You Think)

Wed, 22 Oct 2008 19:13:39 -0400

I use this recipe and method at least once a month. You can leave out the sugar and vanilla extract to just have a plain yogurt. Any % milk can be used, I use fat free. You'll need a method of incubation. I use a medium sized styrofoam cooler with lid, and a couple of dish towels. Any cooler will work. Make sure when you put your jars inside that the lid will close,and there isn't to much extra space. The warm jars themselves will maintain the temperature. You'll also need containers to pour your yogurt into. I prefer glass jars (mason/canning jars) But old glass mayo jars etc. would also work great. Sterilize your containers before you begin, or while you're heating the milk mixture. Do this by boiling the jars for about 10 minutes in a large pot OR washing them and placing them right side up on a cookie sheet. Place in the oven and set to 350. bake for 20 minutes. -- posted by Nikoma

Yogurt

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 23:26:19 -0500

This makes a delicious yogurt (about 4 pints). I'm still experimenting with it, regarding flavorings. For the powdered milk, you may use instant or regular powdered milk. I use regular powdered milk. If using instant, you can simply stir the powdered milk into the 1 or 2% milk. If using regular powdered milk, be sure to whisk it in well. A mixer pitcher works well for this step. I've recently learned about hay box cooking or "Wonder Box" cooking and I use this to cultivate my yogurt in. It is simply a bean bag in essence. The top and the bottom of the box are made from a sturdy fabric and filled with polystyrene beads. My recipe will be for using my hay box, but you can use a small styrofoam cooler; wrap the jars in a warm blanket and place in the cooler for the allotted time. Hay Box cooking is often used in countries where fuel is expensive and hard to come by. You primarily heat the contents of your pot of whatever you are cooking (stew, chicken, etc.) and once it is boiling hot you place it in the Hay Box for the allotted time for each dish. As I said, I'm still experimenting with mine. I'll post pictures later. I made a delicious yogurt cheese from some of this yogurt last time. I'll try to post that later. Use Dannon plain yogurt for the starter the first time making this, then use some of the yogurt from your previous batch for the next time. This recipe is from a site called simplylivingsmart.com. I've tweaked it a little. Cook time does not include wait time. -- posted by charlie #5

These delicious pancake recipe are thin, light, fluffy, and moist with a texture that is a cross between a crepe and a pancake. They are great with the apples or without. The recipe is from "Bon Appétit" (Oct. 2004). Don't overmix the batter (it's okay if there are lumps) to ensure that the pancakes will be airy. If you don't have buttermilk, add 1 T of vinegar to 1 cup (minus 1 T) of milk and let sit for 5 minutes. Enjoy! -- posted by blucoat

Thick Apple Pancakes With Raspberry Sauce

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 11:21:42 -0500

This is a fabulous and impressive recipe (both visually and in deliciousness). It's great with or without the raspberry sauce The recipe makes about twice the amount of sauce necessary (in my opinion), but the leftovers are amazing on ice cream! I don't strain the raspberries because the seeds don't bother me. You can also replace with strawberries. If you really want a decadent meal, top with whipped cream. You can prepare the recipe as directed or just bring the apple topping and raspberry sauce out to the table and let people plate it themselves. It's also great if you mix the apple topping right into the pancake batter. Really, it's hard to go wrong with this recipe. :) This beautiful brunch dish is served at The Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite Valley, CA and was printed in "Bon Appétit" (Nov. 2000). If you are just cooking for one or two, leftover batter refrigerates well. -- posted by blucoat

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 01:52:51 -0400

I came up with this recipe when mangoes were on sale. I shared with some gals at work and both said that a spoonful was like a ray of sun. It can definitely cheer you up on a chilly March morning in the Midwest. With four mangoes, I added about 4 cups of sugar. This may taste great with a little dijon mustard mixed in and used as a dipping sauce or as a basting/marinate for pork, salmon, or chicken. (Time is approximate.) -- posted by Saeriu

Nif's Grandpa's Baked Granola

Sat, 02 May 2009 02:48:48 -0400

When I was a little girl, my Grandma would make batches of this for my Grandpa. It filled her house with a wonderful aroma and tasted terrific. She would store it in large glass Mason jars when it cooled. This is a half batch of what she used to make and my Sister makes this amount fresh every week. You can eat this as regular granola with milk or sprinkle on yogourt or ice cream. Thanks Grandma! Enjoy! -- posted by Nif

Homemade Nutella

Tue, 05 May 2009 16:59:42 -0400

From a French children's book I just bought. Saw this, went in the kitchen and made it immediately, it took about 5 minutes. My French husband says it is better than Nutella. It is grittier, because I couldn't figure out how it to get it really smooth, but it tastes great. Makes enough to exactly fill one French Bonne Maman jam jar. -- posted by Kasha

Lobster Eggs Benedict

Sun, 09 Aug 2009 21:43:32 -0400

Sheer luxury on an English muffin, and sounds more complicated than it actually is.... From Booty Food by Jacqui Malouf... SHORT CUT: If you don't want to steam the lobster yourself, you can have the fishmonger steam it for you so its nice and fresh. Or.... you can have them in the freezer and stick em in the fridge during the night if you know you're making a fancy breakfast. -- posted by College Girl

Cinnamon Apple Syrup from Peel

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:32:22 -0400

This is a yummy way to use up apple peels. I like to cook apples during the fall to freeze for a winter side dish. I always hated throwing away the peelings. I modified a recipe that I found online until I got a consistancy and flavor that I am happy with. I enjoy using tart apples like Cortland or Winesap. My whole family loves this syrup. It is especially tasty when poured over Cinnamon Pecan Pancakes :) I love to have this simmering on the stove, it makes the house smell wonderful! -- posted by AmyR
