Ume plums (also known as Prunus mume, Japanese apricot, and Chinese plum) are popular in Korea, Japan and China. Even the bright red one (above) had a good dose of the puckery tart/sour flavor this fruit is known to possess. Here are some recipes to use this interesting fruit. I […]
This is definitely not cajeta. I’m not surprised. I didn’t have goat’s milk. I didn’t even have whole milk. But, I did have fresh 2% milk and plenty of sugar. So, I decided to give it a try. The result reminds me of caramel pudding. I had to stop my […] Fresh Almonds Technically, the fruit of the almond tree is a drupe… not a nut. The entire green almond is edible. But, the outer green shell is quite tough to chew. And, it has a sour taste that can become unpleasant quickly. (I’d say the taste is similar to that […]
I know many South Floridians have their own version of this barbecue sauce. We like to add a bit of the tropics to our grilling. This sauce is best applied at the end of the grilling process due to the sweetness. Guava BBQ Sauce makes approximately 4 cups […]
Scott Peacock made corn muffins on Martha Stewart’s show this Monday. Given it’s similarity to an Italian polenta cake, it was a recipe I had to make immediately. But, of course, I had to add my own little touches of Italy. So, his buttermilk corn muffins become my savory […]

When used in moderation, it makes a pleasantly mellow cup of coffee. If used in excess, the sour characteristics become unbearable for me.
The addition of peas to this dish is a family traditional. My grandmother always added them. So, we honor her tradition. She was a gardener… not a hunter. Growing up, I probably ate this dish 2-3 times a month. Fresh peas in the summer… frozen or canned the rest of […]
This mildly sweet treat works as a small breakfast, snack or light dessert. Not too plain… not too sweet. And, I love the delicate crumbly texture. Sweet Almond Polenta Cake makes one 8 x 8″ square 1 cups AP flour 3/4 cup polenta, fine 1/2 cup […]
I love coconut. And, I make no apologies for using copious amounts in this recipe. And, lets not even mention the sweetened condensed milk. Granola bars are meant to be high calorie snacks to eat while hiking or participating in your sport of choice. So, if you’re just lounging around […] |
