You know you’ve done something right with broccoli when the person you made it for describes it to someone else the next day as “better than biting into a steak.”
Those were Craig’s words and they were a marked change from the first words he uttered about the broccoli, before he bit in: “You made broccoli for dinner? Broccoli and sweet potatoes?” Sourdough Starter-Along: Day Zero.

Jenna is very brave! I’ve had apples on the brain lately, partially due to these three handsome little fellas sitting on my counter top waiting for me to decide what they would become. I love a good apple pie, but wasn’t really in a pie mood. Better Than a Silver Packet: DIY Cream Cheese » Wonderland Kitchen. The deeper I dig into DIYing basic household foods such as rice milk or nut butters, the weirder I sometimes feel about sharing those processes here. Sure, a recipe for homemade cereal bars might come in handy, but a lot of these typical grocery store items–from tahini to garlic powder–end up being pretty simple to produce from scratch in the average kitchen when all is said and done.
Umeboshi. Ume On The Tree Every year in early June, after the last of the spring rains have fallen and the fruit of Prunus mume have begun to blush, we head over to the North side of town where a long time customer has a tree.
Ume, the fruit of the Prunus mume tree, is commonly referred to as a plum. However once you hold the fruit in your hand and feel the soft fuzz and take in the strong sweet fragrance you might sense that this is much more closely related to an apricot, which it is. The tree is small and sturdy. It is planted up against a backyard tool shed and with one of us on the shed roof and one on the ground we strip the tree of fruit, in one short hour filling two 5 gallon buckets. Guest Post: Pickled Beets with Honey from Camille Storch. Oh friends, do I have a treat in store for you today!
It’s a guest post from writer, woodworker, avid canner, and mom of two, Camille Storch. She writes about ecology, agriculture, community, and the reality of her family’s joyful, off-the-grid life in rural Western Oregon on her blog, Wayward Spark. She also designs and crafts natural edge cutting and serving boards and sells them in her Etsy shop, Red Onion Woodworks. I recently added one of her boards to my kitchen and it’s quickly become one of my most loved and used tools.
Enjoy! Classic Dill Pickles. I spend a lot of time with my mom.
I’m probably at her house at least five days a week this time of year. For the most part, we get along pretty well, but I’m always trying to get her to change her inefficient ways of doing things (because of course I know how to do everything far better than she does). She just yells at me (in a good way) and rolls her eyes and threatens to revoke my unlimited babysitting credits. Our relationship is pleasant but not quiet. Anyone that knows me or her will attest to the fact that we’re both pretty stubborn and opinionated, and because we’re so comfortable with each other, we argue constantly. Food Preservation Week Post #4: Hot Peppers, Jellied and Dried. Hot peppers are just beginning to change from green to fiery red around here.
There will be plenty more ripening up in the coming weeks if the frost holds off, but I thought I’d get a headstart by preserving a big pile. I had hot pepper jelly for the first time over at my neighbor Jane’s house. (By “neighbor,” I mean she only lives 2 1/2 miles away.) She brought out a plate of appetizers that included crackers topped with cream cheese and a dollop of this sweet-hot oozy jelly. Hot Pepper Jam. I made hot pepper jelly for the first time last year. The problem was that I didn’t put up nearly enough, and it was gone way too fast. This year, I (sort of) used the hot pepper jelly recipe from the Pomona’s Universal Pectin* directions, and I subbed our own honey for sugar. The resulting jam is spicy but not crazy hot. Grilled Cheese with Pesto. Grilled cheese with pesto. Rhubarb Sauce. I’m moving away from dairy topics today in favor of rhubarb.
Rhubarb is a perennial stalk with a sour taste and very little nutritional value. It is, however, essentially the first fruit-like treat of the early spring, and it can be delicious. Rhubarb is classically paired with strawberries (for good reason), but it also gets a great flavor boost from citrus (lemon or orange) zest and/or juice. For us, strawberry season comes after the onset of rhubarb season, so I usually blend fresh rhubarb with last year’s frozen strawberries and/or raspberries. Roasted Apricot-Glazed Rosemary Chicken & An Apricot Habanero Jam. Well, I am sad to share that we have neared the end of apricot season, but not to worry! Within this post I not only have a recipe for a good ol' roast chicken, but an apricot habanero jelly that will help you savor the apricot's bright and springy flavor all year long.
Mustards: Rosemary Grapefruit and Spicy Indian. Yeasted Carrot-Ginger Bread. Popovers Hot Off the Grill. Yeasted Buckwheat Pancakes. Intro. Homestead Pancakes. I love pancakes. In fact, my whole family loves pancakes. A couple years ago, I started making them with the help of some standard recipe (I think The Book of Bread), but over time I kept tweaking, adding, and substituting ingredients until my standard recipe is unrecognizable from the original.
Easy Mozzarella. I really don’t understand why fresh mozzarella tastes so good.It’s just milk plus salt, acid, and rennet, and yet the simple, creamy flavor complex plus the dense, slightly squeaky texture will always satisy and impress any cheese lover. Mozzarella is probably the most common cheese attempted by cheese making amateurs for good reason. Home Cultured Buttermilk. Aged, Fermented Hot Pepper Sauce. SO many hot peppers: Ghost peppers, Trindad scorpion peppers, cherry bombs, habaneros. Baked Beans Recipe.
