I’m not Irish. So, I didn’t feel one ounce of guilt about turning this into a sweet bread. I am, however, Italian. So, ok maybe… just maybe. There was one little itty bitty baby ounce of guilt. It’s not at all traditional. But, this sweetened soda bread was a big […]
Two medium-sized hands of ginger make well over 2 cups of candied ginger. Next time, I’ll cut the ginger into smaller, more user-friendly pieces. These large pieces were pretty. But, the uneven sizes made for tricky packaging. Candied (or Crystallized) Ginger 2 hands of fresh ginger […]
How do you save a batch of less than stellar fruit? Roast it. Sometimes the prettiest fruit can lack flavor or have a texture that tells you it’s a fruit that is well-past its prime. Apples, plums, peaches, pears, apricots, and oranges are a few that can hide their flaws […]

Even though Christmas is a time for flashier (fancy & time-consuming to make) cookies, somehow a batch of these always find their way […]

There’s more than a little bit of molasses in this recipe. A lot more. It dominates the taste with ease. And, that large dose of molasses adds a density to this gingerbread that gives it an Old English feeling. I’m on the fence. I think I like it.
