Fresh Lemongrass-Ginger Ale. I propagated a few store-bought lemongrass stalks a few years ago when I first moved into my house, and every year since then, they’ve been the gift that keeps on giving, year round.

Fresh Lemongrass-Ginger Ale

Each little lemongrass plant (which began its life as a clump of three rooted stalks) has grown into a wild-looking shrub with dozens of thick, juicy, citrusy stalks. And maybe I’m biased, but I feel homegrown lemongrass far outflavor the ones you can find in the store (especially since you can use the lemongrass leaves as well). Needless to say, we make a lot of meals with lemongrass around here. My husband is king of marinated lemongrass chicken, and I like to drop a few stalks into the broth for my slow-cooked Vietnamese pulled pork tacos. In the winter, we’re all about lemongrass-infused tea. But on most afternoons, you’ll find me on our sunny porch with two jars by my side: a jar of lemongrass-ginger syrup and a jar of lemongrass-ginger ale on the rocks!

I totally forgot to take a picture of the eggs brining happily in massive and little pickling jars..

Roasted Garlic Jelly (and a GIVEAWAY!)

A nice change from the frigid depths of the living room. Earlier this year I received a note from Tom of Singer Farm Naturals, who found one of my posts touting the deliciousness of garlic scapes (which, I agree, are underutilized). When the box came just this past week, I was overwhelmed.

I couldn’t have been more wrong. Anyone have a breath mint? But I wanted to do something that would really highlight the garlic. Smoked Gouda and garlic jam. It was a comment left on the Kerry Gold giveaway post by Michelle, describing her ultimate grilled cheese.
