Maple Bourbon Peach Jam

Did you know South Carolina actually outranks Georgia – the Peach State – in the production of peaches? During a normal year, South Carolina grows 60,000 tons of peaches! South Carolina is #2 in the nation in peach production (second only to California), and we are fondly called the "Tastier Peach State."

Summer in South Carolina means peaches. From roadside stands to supermarkets, this delectable fruit graces our shelves and palates from early June straight through to September.

I just love peach season here in South Carolina! They are so juicy, sweet and delicious. Or course I also love to make peach jam and other peach treats during the season.

This Maple Bourbon Peach Jam takes normal peach jam to a whole new level. The maple syrup compliments the peach flavor so well, and the bourbon enhances it, giving it just the right amount of warmth and depth of flavor.

This Maple Bourbon Peach Jam is perfect on a cheeseboard with crackers, and a variety of cheeses, spread on top of English muffins and biscuits, or served alongside a roasted pork tenderloin or baked ham, it's versatile and delicious.

Apple Pie Cake

Apple Pie Cake! Say what? Yep, Apple Pie Cake is exactly that using apple pie filling in a cake. I had one jar left of homemade apple pie filling in the pantry, and thought why not add it to a cake?

Similar to many other cakes with a filling, a little batter goes in the pan first, topped with the apple pie filling, then more batter and lastly an easy crumb topping.

Oh my goodness, so yummy, and so easy! Really easy, and no mixer required. Simply mix the batter in a bowl with a spoon, stirring until batter is smooth. See what I mean? So easy!! Don't just serve it for dessert, this Apple Pie Cake makes a great breakfast treat with a nice cup of coffee or tea.

Don't have any apple pie filling? This would be amazing with any pie filling you like; blueberry, cherry, strawberry, peach and more.

3/4 cups sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda

Maple Bacon Potato Salad

Warm potato salads are a fantastic option, and pair perfectly with grilled or roasted meats of all kinds. They add a whole new dimension to any backyard barbecue, and because they are served warm (room temperature is fine), and contain no mayonnaise, they are easily portable and make a great pot luck dish.

The vinegar and maple syrup in this dish combine with chopped onions, garlic, BACON and thyme to make a delicious vinaigrette poured over the warm potatoes. Anything with bacon is better, right?

Just like my Bavarian Potato Salad, the warm potatoes absorb some of the vinaigrette, making it a delicious, tasty side dish.

RECIPE
Ingredients
1 1/2-2 lbs small red or Yukon Gold potatoes (peeling optional)
2 tbls olive oil
6 slices bacon, chopped
1/2 medium onion chopped
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 - 1/2 tsp garlic, minced
1/2 tsp fresh thyme removed from stem and chopped (or use dried thyme leaves)
Salt and pepper to taste

Method
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel (if desired) and quarter potatoes (or cut into slightly smaller pieces) and place in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper, tossing to coat potatoes. Spoon potatoes onto a rimmed baking sheet, and bake for 25 minutes or until tender, turning potatoes half way through baking time to ensure even roasting.

While potatoes are baking, make the vinaigrette. In a medium pan, cook the bacon on medium-high heat until browned and crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and place on paper towel. Drain all but 1 tbls grease from the pan.

In the remaining bacon grease, sauté the onion until soft. Add the vinegar, maple syrup, garlic, thyme and half of the bacon and simmer over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, until slightly reduced. Set aside until potatoes are cooked.

When potatoes are cooked, toss with vinaigrette and garnish with remaining bacon and additional thyme if desired. Serve warm.

Yield: 4 servings

Tropical Fluff

Where has this been all my life? Oh my goodness, it's delicious and oh so easy to make. While I have a Cherry Church Salad that's similar, and greatly enjoyed by my family and friends, I wanted something different.

Naturally there are lots of recipes on the internet for a variety of fluff's from pineapple to creamsicle. All of them look and sound amazing, but I wanted to make this with mandarin oranges and pineapple tidbits for a more tropical flair.

I'm so happy I did, as all of my taste tester have raved over this combination of fruits. It's fruity, smooth, creamy and utterly fantastic.

RECIPE
Ingredients
1 small box instant vanilla pudding
1 - 20 oz can Dole pineapple tidbits with juice
1 - 15 oz can Dole mandarin orange pieces, drained
1 - 8 oz cool whip
1 cup sweetened coconut
2 cups mini marshmallows
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Method
In a large bowl mix the vanilla pudding mix and pineapple tidbits with juice; stir well to thoroughly combine. Add drained mandarin oranges and cool whip, stirring well. Fold in sweetened coconut, mini marshmallows and chopped pecans.

Cover and refrigerate several hours before serving.

Cook's note - for an adult version, add 2 tbsp coconut rum

Strawberry Balsamic Sweet Onion Jam

When strawberries are in season, I always but a few gallons; some to eat while fresh, others to freeze and use later on. The BEST strawberries always come from a local farm, so do yourself a favor and find a local strawberry patch, or buy them fresh at the farmers market.

Dorr Farms, Gable, SC

 What could be better than fresh strawberries, balsamic vinegar and Vidalia onions in a jam? Oh my goodness, so darn delicious. The sweet strawberries are enhanced with the savory balsamic vinegar and onions, giving it the perfect balance.

Served with a cheese board, it is perfect over cream cheese or baked brie topped on crackers, but it's equally delicious basted on grilled poultry or pork.

RECIPE
Ingredients
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
4 cups fresh strawberries, stems removed, crushed
1 1/2 cups diced sweet onion (I used Vidalia Onions)
1 tsp butter to reduce foaming
1 box Sure-Jell or powdered fruit pectin
7 cups granulated sugar

Method
In a large pot, over high heat, add the strawberries, onions, butter, balsamic vinegar, and pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil (one that doesn't stop while stirring). Add the sugar and return to a full rolling boil. Boil hard for one (1) minute.

Remove the pot from the heat. Ladle the jam into your hot jars, you want them filled to within ¼" of the top rim. Be sure to wipe the top rim of the jars with a damp paper towel to get off any drips or spills. Cover each jar with a lid and a ring.

Process jars 10 minutes in a boiling water bath or steam canner. Remove jars and allow them to cool 24 hours undisturbed on your kitchen countertop. Jars are sealed when the button on the top of the lid is fully depressed and won't move up and down.

Yield: 10 - half-pint (8 oz) jars

Blackberry Pudding Cake

When berries are in abundance, this Blackberry Pudding Cake is a great way to use them. Sweet, but not too sweet, it's the perfect dessert. I like using fresh berries, but you absolutely can use frozen.

Don't like blackberries? Use whatever berries you like, or a mix of berries. Blackberries, raspberries and blueberries are delicious mixed up in this cake. The best part is you don't even need a mixer. This cake whips up quick and easy by mixing the batter with a spoon.

RECIPE
Ingredients
4 cups blackberries, fresh or frozen (or a mix of blackberries, raspberries and blueberries)
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, divided
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
4 large eggs
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon zest (may omit)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Confectioners’ sugar

Method
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with baking spray. Mix berries with 1/4 cup sugar and spread evenly over bottom of baking dish.

Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, olive oil, lemon zest, vanilla, and 1 cup sugar. Stir in flour mixture until just combined.

Pour evenly over berries. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top springs back slightly in the center.

Cool at least 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar just before serving.

Middle Eastern Rock Cornish Game Hens

Recently we purchased some Rock Cornish Game Hens, locally raised by Bell Family Farmstead. We love game hens, and I was I was so ready to rub them with the Shawarma Spice from World Spice Merchants, and throw them on the grill.

Where oh where has Shawarma been my whole life? Shawarma is named for the traditional Levantine meat preparation where lamb, chicken, turkey, beef, veal, or mixed meats are placed on a spit, commonly a vertical spit in restaurants, and may be grilled for as long as a day. One whiff of this favorite Middle Eastern street food flavor, using a spice blend made with cumin, cinnamon, black pepper, cardamom, allspice, and cayenne, was intoxicating.

While we didn't put them on a spit, we did grill them, and the game hens turned out fantastically; crispy and spicy on the outside, juicy, moist and tender on the inside.

RECIPE
Ingredients
2 (approx. 2 lbs each) Rock Cornish Game Hens, split in half
1 tbls. oil
1-2 tbls. Shawarma spice

Method
Split game hens and rub all over with oil. Liberally sprinkle Shawarma spice all over and rub in well. Grill over medium direct heat 15 minutes bone side down, turn over and grill 10 minutes meat side down, then return to bone side down and continue to cook until internal temperature registers 165 degrees (use a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part to check temperature).

Remove game hens from grill and cover with foil. Let rest 10 minutes. Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes.

Cook's note - after grilling split hens can be cut in half separating the leg and thigh from the breast.

Servings: 4 -6

Chocolate Depression Cake

Chocolate Depression Cake - this recipe originates from the Great Depression, when some every day items were scarce, and butter in particular was a luxury. Also known as a Crazy Cake or Wacky Cake, it’s egg-free and dairy free for those with allergy issues, and Vegan friendly.

Makayla Perez getting ready to enjoy her piece of Chocolate Depression Cake

I originally made this cake for a staff member of my husband's who is vegan. She and her children were thrilled with the cake, as is evidenced by the photos. My husband and his other non-vegan staff members also tried it, and it was huge hit with everyone.

This cake is the perfect after-school snack cake, so easy to make and super-yummy! Even kids could make this, it's so simple to do!

Moist, tender, full of chocolatey goodness without butter, eggs or milk. Who knew?

Deconstructed Egg Rolls

Deconstructed Egg Rolls ... say what? All the flavors of an egg roll without the work. Simply cook this up in one pan, serve and eat. It couldn't be any easier or tastier.

Chop or shred the veggies (or save yourself time and buy shredded cabbage and matchstick carrots), brown the ground beef (pork, chicken or turkey), add the spices, soy sauce and a cup of water and 20 minutes later your have dinner. Quick, easy and delicious.

Feel free to adjust seasonings to your taste, and add any veggies you like. Bean sprouts or fresh green peas would be great added toward the end of cooking time.

Amish-Style Macaroni Salad

This is the BEST Amish-Style Macaroni Salad EVER! I have tried for a long time to make an Amish-Style Macaroni Salad with the best blend of sweet and tart, and this does it.

The dressing is perfect. It's an awesome blend of creamy, sweet and tangy, and you'll never believe what the secret ingredient is ... seriously. When you find out you'll be surprised, maybe doubtful, and possibly even have an "ah ha" moment ... for real.

I mean seriously, what has taken me so long, and where has this been all my life? I could NOT believe it could be so simple ... should I tell you?

Three words ... sweetened condensed milk. Yes, you read that right ... sweetened condensed milk. What could be easier? It's thick, creamy, sweet and works amazingly well with the mayonnaise, vinegar, salt and pepper. Just wait until you try it, you'll be surprised too.

RECIPE
Ingredients
16 ounces (2 cups) uncooked elbow macaroni
4 carrots shredded (I use my food processor, but a box grater will work)
1 onion, chopped
1 small head broccoli, shredded (optional)
1/2 each red or yellow and green bell pepper, seeded and chopped (optional)
1 cup chopped celery (approx 2 stalks)
1 tbls. parsley flakes
2 cups mayonnaise
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup white vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

Method
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni, and cook until just done, about 8 minutes. Rinse under cold water, and drain.

In a large bowl, stir together the shredded carrots and broccoli, onions, green pepper, red pepper and celery.

Mix in the mayonnaise, condensed milk, vinegar, parsley flakes, salt and pepper. Add the macaroni, toss gently, cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.

Cook's note - Best made the day before. Stir occasionally to blend flavors. Macaroni will absorb more of the dressing as it sits.

Rustic Dutch Oven Bread

I just love rustic breads; their crusty exterior and light, chewy, full of nooks and crannies interior begging for some real butter to be spread on top of every slice.

Dutch ovens are an awesome way to bake a large loaf of rustic bread to be enjoyed with soups, stews, warm slathered with butter, toasted with jam, or used in hearty sandwiches.

No overnight rising required. This bread rises and bakes in the same day with just 4 ingredients: flour, salt, water, yeast! That's it! Yes, it does still take a few hours to make; there's just no way around that, but during the rising times, you can be doing something else, and then you'll be able to enjoy this rustic artisan dutch oven bread for supper.

Pass the butter please!

RECIPE
Ingredients
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups water, lukewarm, between 90-110 degrees 
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 envelope active dry yeast (or 2 1/2 tsp yeast)

Method
Stir yeast packet into water and allow yeast to bloom (bubble some) about 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, mix flour and salt by hand. Once incorporated, create a small well in the middle and pour in the water/yeast mixture. Mix by hand, wetting your working hand before mixing so the dough doesn’t stick to your fingers. The water and flour should come together and a form rough dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

NOTE: If the dough is too sticky, add more flour in small increments, about 1 tablespoon at a time. If the dough is too dry, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Once the dough has come together, cover it and let it rise until it doubles in size, 1 1/2-2 hours.

Uncover the dough and give it a few pokes with your finger. If the dough has risen properly it should indent under the pressure of your fingers and slowly deflate.

Using a rubber spatula fold the dough. Starting from the rim of the bowl, work the dough loose from the sides and fold it up and towards the center of the bowl. Turn the bowl 90 degrees, and repeat until all the dough has been pulled from the sides and folded towards the center. Once finished, cover and allow the dough to continue to rise for another 1 1/2-2 hours.

Once the dough has doubled in size again, gently remove it from the bowl onto a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle a small amount of flour on top of the dough. Using your hands, begin to shape the loaf. Fold the dough under itself several times to form a ball, then clap together the seams of dough underneath. Place the dough seam-side down in a clean bowl that has been coated with olive oil and flour; Cover and let rise for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, take a 6-quart dutch oven (or heavy cooking pot with oven-safe lid) and place it inside the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 and allow it to heat up with the pot inside for 45 minutes. Remove the pot from the oven and place it on a trivet or heat-safe surface (be careful, it will be very hot).

Turn the proofed dough over onto a piece of parchment paper lightly sprayed with cooking spray, and carefully place it, parchment paper and all, inside of the pot. Cover with the lid and return the pot to the oven.

Bake at 450 for 30 minutes, remove lid and bake 15 minutes more (45 minutes total baking time).

Remove bread from pot and allow to cool for 10 minutes before cutting.

Total time: 6 hours

Corned Beef Hash

Corned Beef! I really love corned beef and we have it at least once every year for St. Patrick's Day, cooked with cabbage, potatoes, onions and carrots my family calls a New England Boiled Dinner.

I have never really figured out why we don't have it more often, because we all love it, but one thing leads to another, and the next thing I know another year has gone by ... isn't it funny how that happens?

Anyway, when we have corned beef that one time every year, I almost always make two. That way I have an extra one to slice for Reuben's or this awesome Corned Beef Hash.

This is a great weekend breakfast treat, and a good one to enjoy for Sunday brunch. Served with a fried egg over top, or scrambled eggs on the side with biscuits, jam and jelly, it's hearty and delicious.

Chocolate Cinnamon Whisky Cake

Chocolate Cinnamon Whisky Cake, let that sink in just a minute. Oh my goodness! Dark, decadent, delicious, rich and moist, it is an amazing cake. This cake received amazing reviews from all my taste testers! It's definitely a "keeper" recipe in our house.

The coffee, black pepper, cloves, and chocolate work well together, then the cinnamon whisky compliments those flavors, elevating it all to a whole new level.

This deeply rich and moist chocolate cake makes it an excellent choice to serve to guests, or simply enjoy with your family.

In a medium saucepan over low heat, warm coffee, Irish whiskey, 1 1/2 cups butter and remaining 3/4 cup cocoa powder, whisking occasionally, until butter is melted. Whisk in sugars until dissolved. Remove from heat and cool completely.

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, pepper and cloves. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and vanilla. Slowly whisk egg mixture into cooled chocolate mixture. Add dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Fold in chocolate chips.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Transfer to oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean, 55 to 65 minutes.

Let cool on a wire rack, then remove sides of pan. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
