MANGO PUDDING

MANGO PUDDING by Linda Tay Esposito

A newer addition to the dim sum repertoire, the mango pudding is influenced by Western desserts techniques (since the Chinese are not too big on desserts! "Not too sweet" is always a sign of a good dessert for the Chinese!). Instead of heavy cream, you can substitute with coconut milk to give it a more tropical flavor.

Blueberries with Lime Sugar & Citrus Confit

Blueberries with Lime Sugar & Citrus Confit by Amos Miller

This is one of my absolute favorite berry desserts and comes from Tony Bourdain and Les Halles Restaurant in NYC. I have had the audacity to make just one minor modification to the recipe, but I have no regrets, and neither will you. We grow blueberries all season long at Walnut Ridge Farm, so there are always opportunities to try…

Vareniki with cherry and sugar by Mary Shaldibina

Sour cherry with sugar in pastry makes the dish very tasty and reminds me the days in childhood when with my little friends we winced from picked from trees in garden sour cherry but still were the happiest children in the world :)

Winter Berry Jam With Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit

Winter Berry Jam With Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit by Robyn Savoie

Enjoy this vibrant deep purple, sweet tart jam with toast, bagels, muffins; even as a topping for vanilla ice cream. Keep in mind this recipe is for canning hot pack method. I don't process in a water bath as traditionally done. While the fruit is cooking, I add clean jars to a large stock pot full of cold water. Bring to a boil…

Peach Rum Sauce

Peach Rum Sauce by Salad Foodie

Lip-smacking delicious! A spoonful of this delicately flavored luscious sauce turns ordinary desserts into memorable treats. Warm and serve over ice cream, or use for French toast or your morning breakfast bread. The first time I made this recipe (found on freshpreserving.com) I was skeptically cautious, canning it in small jars to…

Ginataan Fiesta

Ginataan Fiesta by Lidy Concepcion

This is typically served during snack time. Ginataan means cooked in coconut milk. Coconut is grated and then the grains are formed in lumps by hand and then squeezed or pressed to get the juices from them. This dish is almost like the ginataan halo-halo but this one has fruit cocktain, and also tastes good.

In-a-Pinch Cranberry Sauce made from Dried Cranberries

In-a-Pinch Cranberry Sauce made from Dried Cranberries by Salad Foodie

I serve turkey year round but forget to keep canned cranberry sauce on hand; even when I do it's hard to use up the whole can because not everone eats it. Recently the craving for cranberries with roast turkey breast was too strong. I grabbed the Craisin bag from the pantry and experimented making a small amount of cranberry sauce.…

Orange Chipotle Vinaigrette

Orange Chipotle Vinaigrette by Bob Vincent

This recipe is adapted from one by Julie Campoy in her book Julienne. I made some changes to it. I added garlic, used more honey and reduced 50% more orange juice. I also added Mexican oregano and cut back on the cumin a bit. This produces a thin vinaigrette. If you want it thicker whisk in a couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise.…

Sweet Potato-Banana Purée

Sweet Potato-Banana Purée by Nancy Miyasaki

This fruity purée from Chef Ron Siegel of Masa's in San Francisco may be made up to 1 day ahead; cool, cover, and chill. Reheat, covered, in a microwave oven on full power (100%), stirring occasionally for about 3 minutes. I wouldn't have thought banana would be a positive addition to a sweet potato puree, but it really is. The…

Plum Pineapple Jam

Plum Pineapple Jam by Salad Foodie

I devised this recipe when I wanted a variation of plum jam and thought why not use canned crushed pineapple? The result was beautiful jewel-tone jam with a pleasing fruit combo of flavors and textures. No added commercial pectin here, so if the thought of standing and stirring, oh about a half hour, scares you away, go with the…
