When in doubt, make crumble bars, Kat says. Yes, I made more crumble bars. They are a great summer dessert or snack, come together in a flash and this time, I had some red current jelly to add from when I went picking last week, plus passion fruit jam. Have you ever had passion fruit jam? It’s sooooo yummy.

Here is the second of my Cook/Bake-a-long submissions on the topic of “From my Garden”, “From the Farmer’s Market” and “From the Farm”: a Blueberry Rhubarb Galette: the blueberries are from Russell Orchards PYO and the rhubarb is from my parents garden up in Maine. Normally it’s strawberries that get the lovin’ with the rhubarb, but I think that it is fantastic with blueberries too. Very yummy!
The other day, I bought this amazing green (of course) mini-bundt pan from Ten Hands Pottery on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/shop/TenHandsPottery). It arrived late last week and the very first thing I thought was what to make — and came up with this recipe for a Hazelnut Chocolate Red Currant Bundt. It was a riff on my standard pound cake recipe, so I wasn’t sure that it would come out as planned, but it’s delicious. And it photographs well in the lovely pan.
Pie for breakfast? I maybe posting this in the morning, but it was actually dessert last night — Browned Butter Maine Maple Kentucky Bourbon As American as Apple Pie. Complex but somehow very simple. Neither the maple nor the bourbon took center stage. For once, my lattice top didn’t crack. Overall, very pleased.
