Homemade Refried BeansI'm ashamed to say that though I LOVE refried beans, this is the first time I've ever made them myself. It's just so easy to buy them in a can, or at a mexican restaurant, that I haven't bothered. But this recipe is simple and it is definitely worth the effort in my mind. I figure my kids are the true test, since they aren't that… |

Mango Chipotle Sauce/GlazeThis is a good sauce/glaze for almost anything. It is easy to make and stores refrigerated well for several days or if air tight much longer. I use it on grilled fish, chicken or pork. It can be used hot as a finishing sauce or cold as a glaze during the last few minutes of grilling. Adjust the chipotle peppers to your taste. |

Piccalilli RelishThe final harvest of green tomatoes I relegated to a batch of Piccalilli, a relish of East Indian origin. Just can't get enough of that lightly pungent and savory condiment....and it’s way easy to make using a food processor for most of the chopping tasks. Make a batch of this to give as holiday gifts, and to enjoy yourself through… |

Croatian white onion sauceTraditional and delicious Croatian sauce that goes well with all kinds of cooked meat. Note: Do not omit or substitute wine vinegar with any other vinegar. Cooked onions taste somewhat sweet, and vinegar gives the sauce just the right taste balance. Alcohol, cider or balsamic vinegar are not a good option because they would… |

Orange Sauce (for cooked carrots)Are you tired of serving plain carrots? This is an excellent sweet sauce you can serve on top of cooked carrots to impress family and friends. You can serve the plain sauce or as in the photo you can add peeled orange slices to the sauce before adding to the cooked carrots for a fancier looking dish or for a special occasion. |

Sweet Zucchini PicklesToo many zucchini - what to do? A recipe by Chuck Allen (Palm Springs) caught my eye. Expectations are high from this retired chef, so he takes this recipe as a hostess gift. It is as colorful as it is delicious and lasts about 6 weeks refrigerated. The only thing I added was small cauliflowerettes. What an attractive conversation… |

Hoisin SauceTaste before serving as it's quite easy to adjust the recipe to suit your palette :-) Because of the acidity and salt content, this should keep in your fridge for quite a long time, a few months at least. |

Cranberry Cole SlawAre you craving crunchy freshness right about now? When meltingly tender slow-cooked stews and soups predominate. They are welcome, but sometimes you want some bite-y food. And make that simple, quick, healthy, and low cal too, please. I like this lightly dressed and fat free. But you can easily add oil if you want to increase… |
