So, my attempt at a Strawberry Pie turned out a little juicier than planned but it is ohhhh sooooo goooood. Who knew that balsamic vinegar could be so amazing in pie!
Sweet Snacks
I know that a lot of people associated roasted nuts more as a winter thing, but I had an urge to make some, and figured they go just as well with a couple of beers on the back porch as they do at Christmas time. These are smokey and sweet, and not too spicy. Just enough to keep you thirsty — and grabbing a few more — but not overly hot, salty or sweet to any extreme. Try ‘am, you’ll like ’em.
PS: you can use any combination of nuts that you like. I particularly like this combo and ratio, but whatever floats your boat.
So tis the season for spring fruit and veg so I had a hankering to make something with strawberries and rhubarb. Yes, again. So I figured why not try cookies in this equation, so here they are. Made the filling from scratch too, because it is hard to find commercially made strawberry-rhubarb jam/butter. Sweet and tart all sandwiched between a lovely vanilla sugar cookie.
