Apple cranberry sauce isn’t just for the holidays. With very little sugar, have it on yogurt or spread it on toast. Making it in the Instant Pot just made things a lot easier.
Condiments
Sun-Dried Tomatoes in the Air Fryer
We love sun-dried tomatoes and making them in the air fryer was so easy, less expensive, and I could play around with the seasoning as much as I wanted to. You could do this in a dehydrator or a very low oven if you don’t have an air fryer. They travel well and make a nice gift.
Candied Jalapeno Slices – Hot Gifts
These candied jalapeno slices are so easy to make, you will wonder why you haven’t done this before. We like them on a cream cheese topped celery or cracker for a snack.
Fresh Tomato Sauce – Never Ending Summer
There is nothing like tomato sauce made from fresh tomatoes in the summer. But, no worries, if you have an abundance of tomatoes the rest of the year, you can easily turn them into tomato sauce, too.
Balsamic Caramelized Onions – a Condiment or Side
These balsamic caramelized onions go very well with the Roasted Duck with Raspberry Sauce, as well as on burgers, with cheese, on toast, just about anywhere – they are sweet and tart at the same time.
Crab Balls – The Month of Burgers
Crab Balls
I have always liked crab balls, ever since my mother used to buy Mrs. Paul’s Frozen Crab Cakes when I was a little kid. As I grew up, I realized I could make them myself and used Zatarains, which had a lot of salt, so I decided to make my own and do better.
These make a great appetizer or a light lunch with a salad or chips. When I made this, I threw a thinly sliced potato in the fat and made potato chips.
San Marzano Style Earthquake Ketchup
So, what do you do on the morning of the 4th of July when you want to make Boswell Barbecue Sauce that goes with Barbecued Ribs in the Instant Pot, but you don’t have ketchup? Well, you grab a can of San Marzano style tomatoes and you get cooking.
How to Make Butter in a Braun Food Processor
You will be absolutely amazed at how easy it is to have fresh butter just using your food processor. If you have a Braun food processor, even better because it has a variable speed that makes the job even easier. All you need is a food processor and cream – that’s it! For your troubles, you get butter and buttermilk that you can use for scones or biscuits, pancakes, Red Velvet Cake, or other recipes that require buttermilk. This is real buttermilk with little bits of butter in it – not the stuff they sell at the supermarket – this is real buttermilk.
Boswell Barbecue Sauce – Smokey, Sweet, Sour and Hot
I started making barbecue sauce a couple of years ago when I ran out of storebought and didn’t feel like going to the store to get more. How hard could it be? So, I’ve been working on this sauce and this is just the way we like it. I think you might like it, too. It’s sweet from brown sugar, honey, and molasses, and it’s sour from red wine and apple cider vinegar, and it’s hot from several types of chili. I’m going to put this on our Nesco Baby Back Ribs, but it’s also great on Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken, or anything else you want a sweet and sour hot barbecue sauce.
Peaches Preserved in Vodka
