These were so good, I had to make them twice. 🙂 Yep, that’s right. I sampled one from the first batch and before I knew it, I had eaten half my giveaway. Whoopsie! At least I had a lot of Blueberry Jam hanging around. It is blueberry season and if you can get the good ones from Maine (or at very minimum, a jar of Stonewall Kitchen stuff), definitely go with the “Wild blueberry” variety. You won’t be sorry!

Red Currants are one of the best things in life! I love their sweet and tart bites of juiciness. The season is incredibly short though, and to prolong the season, the one of the things that my family often does is make jelly. My mom made a whole bunch last week, and with some jelly, I made some Hazelnut Red Currant Linzer Cookies. Bite sized cookies with a great flavor!
I don’t go crazy-overboard with the 4th of July / Independence Day Treats, but I thought that I should do *something*, and this is frankly the most Americana thing that I could think of …. breakfast cereal, marshmallows, peanut butter and red-white-and-blue sprinkles. Voila, festive Rice Krispies Treats, just in the for the holiday.
So many people only associate rhubarb with strawberries. I am here to prove that differently. Because rhubarb is an early summer harvest, and the cherry crop becomes ripe, at least around here, not too long after, I decided to combine those two fruits/veg and made some lovely and simple rhubarb-cherry compote. Add it to my usual crumble bars and you have a lovely, juicy, sweet-and-a-little-tart, handheld dessert or snack.
Sometimes, I like to see just how much flavor that I can squeeze into a recipe and I think that I may have done the maximum with these Lemon Explosion Cookies. In these crispy chip drop cookies we have the world famous Kind Arthur Baking lemon chips, zest from a couple of lemons, lemon extract and just to top it all off, lemon sugar (also from King Arthur). There is lemon on lemon on lemon and boy, are they good. Cookies that define summer sun!
