Celebrating Christine Ferber’s raspberry bittersweet chocolate preserves. — Mrs Wheelbarrow's Kitchen. In Mes Confitures, Christine Ferber calls this concoction Raspberries and Chocolate. She does not categorize it. Truth be told, if it’s sauce, it’s a little thick. If it’s jam, it’s a little thin.

You wonder if you should be disappointed. Nothing could be further from reality. Spoon a teaspoon into your lowfat yogurt to feel decadent. Get the very best organically farmed raspberries. Use very bittersweet chocolate. PS If you don’t have a food mill, the texture of the final product will not be as smooth, but it will still be delicious. Raspberry and Chocolate recipe from Mes Confitures with a few adjustments from me Makes 5-6 half pints 3 pints fresh raspberries 3 c sugar Juice of one lemon 9 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine In a large heavy pan or preserving pan, heat the raspberries and sugar until the sugar has dissolved.

Run the raspberry mixture through a food mill’s smallest disc, to rid the sauce of the seeds. Bring the mixture back up to a boil. Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Creamsicles.

Lasagna Cupcakes Recipe | Framed Cooks. Those of you who have been reading this blog lately know that I have developed an alarmingly close relationship with my muffin pan.

I blame the French Toast muffins that I made a while back. They turned on a little lightbulb over my head, one that has led me down a road filled with cupcakes of all shapes and sizes.

Recipe adapted from Food.com. How to Make Sriracha. There’s a commercial for hot sauce on TV with the tagline, “I put that #%*& on everything.” That’s how I feel about sriracha. Sriracha is a fiery-red Thai-American hot sauce fondly known by its loyal followers as rooster sauce (just look at a bottle), and the condiment’s popularity means that it can be found everywhere—from mega-marts and convenience stores to truck stops and 4-star restaurants.

The ingredient list is actually printed in five different languages. Chilies, sugar, salt, garlic, and distilled vinegar are the main ingredients. Then comes potassium sorbate and sodium bisulfate. I wanted to figure out how to make my own rooster sauce, minus the preservatives. I found a few recipes that called for cooking a mixture of chopped red jalapenos with a little bit of sugar, three garlic cloves, a few tablespoons of vinegar, and water (fish sauce was in the mix as well). Disappointing at best. I let it cool and gave it a taste—straight up on a spoon. DIY Margarita Popsicles. Homemade cherry pie larabar.

Lemon Curd Recipe. Lemon Curd is a thick, soft and velvety cream that has a wonderful tart yet sweet citrus flavor. Traditionally it was used as a spread for scones but today it is used as a filling for tarts, pies, and cakes. What I like about Lemon Curd is that it does not use exotic ingredients; just eggs, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and unsalted butter. It is similar to a lemon filling or custard in that it is cooked on the stove but yet it does not contain a thickener such as cornstarch (corn flour). We are going to cook the curd in a stainless steel bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water (a double boiler). This method does take a little longer, but it helps prevent the eggs from curdling which gives the curd all those annoying little specks of cooked egg. Just make sure that the water in the bottom saucepan is 'simmering' which is defined as the point just short of a boil, that is, when bubbles start to appear.

Now, lemon curd has to be made with fresh lemons. 15 Amazing Truffle Recipes To Make! Chocolate truffles are all the rage right now and easier to make than you think!

How to Make Cocktail Bitters. For cocktail geeks, making your own bitters is akin to getting a prison tattoo: You’re in the gang and no one’s going to mess with you (read “question your cocktail chops”).

Given this comparison, you’re probably thinking, wow, making bitters must be difficult, time consuming, and painful. It’s not. Grab a bunch of dried barks, roots, spices, and herbs, a quantity of high-proof booze, and a bunch of lidded jars—and you’re 80% there. The rest is simply mixing, waiting, and straining. Like a jelly-of-the-month club, your finished homemade bitters will keep on giving, adding depth and complexity to untold cocktails, as well as foods (try adding drops to vinaigrettes, sauces, soups, and stews). Whether I’m cooking dinner or mixing a drink, I always want the ability to season to taste; with that in mind, I’ve created more of a bitters kit with a couple suggested combinations, rather than a single recipe. Consider yourself inked. Start with high-quality dried barks, roots, spices, and herbs. Simplifying Potato Galette.
