Oven-Poached Garlic with Thyme is a modification of an easy Martha Stewart recipe that produces caramelized garlic cloves and an infused oil.
Condiments
Cranberry Sauce
Easy homemade cranberry sauce. Clearly in the classic, traditional, Thanksgiving camp, but a touch of orange and cinnamon give it a je ne sais quoi quality.
New Mexico Chile Salsa
This homemade, Tex-Mex, New Mexico Chile Salsa is easy-ish, and delicious warm, room temperature, or cold. It’s as good as a salsa you might get in a restaurant.
Fruity Tahini Salad Dressing
Fruity Tahini Salad Dressing is simple, quick, and easy. But for as easy as it is, it has a big payoff in terms of flavor!
Chile Pepper Bacon Jam (Spicy)
Chile Pepper Bacon Jam, with bacon fat for added baconness. What kind of peppers? Ancho and habanero. Plus fresh and roasted red pepper, for added depth. If you’re thinking “wow,” you’re exactly right.
Strawberry Jam: vibrant, almost tantalizing
Vibrant Strawberry Jam has the sharpness of lemon, but the flavor of strawberry.
Homemade Gooseberry Jam
Gooseberry jam is easy to make at home. Finding gooseberries is the hardest part! Once you have, check out this simple recipe.
Lemon Curd
Two Lemon curd recipes: one made with cornstarch, and one made in a non-traditional method. Both use lemon juice and yolks only (no whites). Lemon zest, optional.
Cream Gravy in the Navy
This Cream Gravy (aka Milk Gravy) recipe comes from the 1945 U.S. Navy Cookbook. The Navy made theirs with meat drippings; I’ve used bacon fat.
