Timeless Recipes for Cakes, Cookies, Desserts, Ice Cream and Candy by Jennifer Lindner McGlinn As we near the end of National Cookbook Month thoughts turn to holiday cooking.

Make Your Own Rose Syrup

Filed in Canning and Preserving by admin on September 1, 2015 • 1 Comment

Roses aren’t just beautiful, they taste good too! Turn your backyard roses into a flavored syrup. I’ve mentioned this before, but it has been a challenging garden year here in the Northwest. Drought, heat, and low irrigation water don’t add up to a lush garden. So I have been foraging a bit more than usual […]

Ginger Ice Cream with Fig Jam Ripple

Celebrate the end of summer with this unusual homemade ice cream recipe. We don’t always want vanilla. Yes, vanilla is America’s favorite ice cream flavor, but sometimes we want something a little different. Something unpredictable. Maybe something more grown-up than Mint Chocolate Chip or Rocky Road.

Watermelon sherbet is a refreshing treat on a hot summer’s day. It’s watermelon season. Sweet and juicy, maybe nothing says summer more than watermelon.

Tomorrow is National Ice Cream Day! Celebrate with this tangy, chewy, New England favorite. New Englanders love ice cream. Seems strange, but even though New England is one of the coldest areas of the country, the natives eat more ice cream than elsewhere. When I was growing up, heading to the local soft-serve place […]

It’s easy to turn fresh apricots into Honey Apricot Vanilla Sorbet or Brown Sugar Almond Apricot Sorbet. And a great way to celebrate National Ice Cream Month! Earlier this week I mentioned that I had purchased 27 pounds of very ripe apricots. After eating my fill, my thoughts turned to canning. But after canning […]

So what is the difference between ice cream, gelato, and other frozen treats? July is National Ice Cream Month, and not a moment too soon. Here in the west we are suffering through a heat wave. Frequent ice cream is one of the only perks of this weather. Which led me to wonder, what is […]
