Recipe: Peach, Plum, and Ginger Jam

You may remember our last attempt at this jam, when it turned out a wee bit hard. But because the flavor was so good, and because we were determined not to let the jam win, we gave it another try... ...

Recipe: Chocolate Toffee Matzo Candy

It's not Passover yet. It won't be Passover for over a week. And this isn't even really our recipe. But this stuff is so awesome, we just had to post the recipe now. Crispy, flaky matzo covered wit...

Recipe: Blood Orange Jelly Smiles

You've seen them on the dessert cart every time you went out for dim sum. But the lure of the custard tarts and the sesame balls has always been too strong, so you've never actually tried the jelle...

How To: Make Chocolate Ganache

What's chocolate ganache? You've probably seen scads of references to it in recipes and food writing. It's the basic tool of the chocolate baker and confectioner: cream and chocolate. Here are just ...

Recipe: Ginger Cinnamon Caramels

We are big fans of the fantastically spicy ginger chews from Ginger People (although... their oddly anthropomorphic ginger mascots? Cute or creepy?) Spicy ginger is comforting and warm, nice for win...

Recipe: D.I.Y. Honey Roasted Peanuts

We weren't going to let one failed attempt get us down - we still think that homemade honey roasted peanuts would make a terrific homemade holiday gift. Here's the recipe we wound up with, and it's ...

Here's one more fall treat - a new favorite. These delicious little bon-bons are made of crushed cookies and butter, stirred together with orange juice, pecans, and candied ginger. They're rolled in...

Recipe: Sweet and Salty Cinnamon Almonds

Cinnamon nuts, crunchy, sweet and salty, are one of our favorite fall snacks. This recipe is super easy, and it's good for snacking or for sprinkling on ice cream and other desserts. We bought a lar...

Recipe: D.I.Y. Fruity Gumdrops

Chewy, fruity gumdrops are a fun twist at the holidays, usually so full of rich chocolate and heavy treats. These little chews are still very sweet, but also light and soft, unlike the rubbery gels of...

Recipe: D.I.Y. Divinity

Divinity is related to nougat and meringue - a soft confection made with egg whites and sugar - and it's a favorite Christmas candy, especially in the Southern US. It keeps well, and it can be a relie...

Recipe: D.I.Y. Buckeyes

Do you know what a Buckeye is? It's a poisonous nut. It's also, of course, the mascot for Ohio State and an addictive candy that shows up at every OSU football party - little balls of sweet peanut but...

Recipe: D.I.Y. Candied Lemon Peel

We gave you some good sources for real candied fruit last week, but you can also make your own candied citron. Candied lemon peel is good for lots more than fruitcake. It also makes a beautiful garnis...

Technique: Caramelizing Sugar

There was a good bit of chatter on the weekend open thread about how to caramelize sugar. Readers really came through for one another with some great tips. Of course, the technique depends on what...
