Garlic Rosemary Goat Cheese

By -
Block of goat cheese (3"x3" square)
8 cloves of Garlic
3 TB fresh Rosemary
1/2 Cup Olive Oil
Crusty Bread or Crackers


Mince the Garlic; Finely chop the rosemary and add both to the olive oil. Pour this mixture over the cheese and let set for 15 minutes. Serve over crusty bread or crackers.

Update:  Thanks to Woodman for posting for me.  I was out of town and had limited access to the computer.  I knew this would be a tough week to complete the Spice Rack Challenge on time.  The original recipe is above, for the Spice Rack Challenge I tried this with dried rosemary, it is MUCH better with fresh, same for fresh garlic, I used the garlic already chopped and it was not as good.  That said, this is a great recipe either way, I could eat this spread on crackers all day!

    This sounds great and super easy for a quick appetizer. It would be great just to keep these ingredients around for surprise guests. This with some homemade crackers on the spot would sure be impressive.

    Nicole, you are right, this looks much more impressive than it should but oh so delish! Hope you give it a try.

Can Jam - Citrus - Orange Lime Marmalade

I have been so excited about the can jam that it has thrown me into a whirlwind of activity.  I have been canning up a storm lately!  While it may seem a boring choice I decided on a marmalade, I have only tried marmalade once or twice and really didn't like it.  Of course I was trying the little retangular packets you find in your local breakfast place so I reasoned, if I make my own, surely I will like it better.  Wow, the difference was amazing.  While I will always be a "berry" jam kind of gal, I can definitely say I like marmalade.  I wanted to try something different so Woodman suggested an Orange Lime Marmalade, I had tons of citrus so I tried the Orange Lime as well as a Citrus Marmalade which included Orange, Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit and Clementines - it was great!  Woodman liked the Orange Lime better so that is what we are posting. Orange Lime Marmalade 3 lbs oranges 3 Limes 6 cups water Peel the oranges and limes.  Chop the orange peel, discard the most

I am doing this post because something unfortunate has happened. DD made these carrots a week ago and they are supposed to sit for two weeks, so we tried them after one. Then tragedy struck, she doesn't like them. But, she doesn't like carrots anyway. So, I'm the one who gets to write this one up. The recipe is from The New Preserves, so we've hit two from the same book now. Sweet Pickled Carrots 1 pound carrots 1/4 cup water   3/4 cup cider vinegar 1/2 cup sugar 1 tablespoon canning salt 3/4 teaspoon mustard seed 3/4 teaspoon celery seed 6 whole cloves 1 stick cinnamon Combine water, vinegar salt and sugar in pan and bring to a boil . Boil  to a boil. In each sterilized jar add 1/4 t mustard seed, 1/4 t celery seed and 2 cloves.  Break the cinnamon stick in three pieces and put one in each jar. Divide the carrots between the jars. Add vinegar mixture leaving 1/2 inch head space, seal and process for 10 minutes. I love them, they remind me of something

Can Jam... Stoned Fruit

By -
So, first I had to figure out how the hell I was going to get a some fruit to smoke pot. Ok, we tried three different recipes this time. We managed to score 25 pounds of peaches for 20 bucks, which we thought was pretty good; until DD found 50 pounds for 20 bucks. We also scored a bushel of tomatoes at the same time. And the cukes were finishing up, so it was pickle time again, as well as starting another batch of sauerkraut. After 8 quarts of spaghetti sauce, using a safer recipe, 8 pints of salsa, 4 pints of pickle relish, several random jars of pickles, and a 2 gallon jar of kraut it was time to look at the peaches. We did canned peaches in light syrup (6 pints), canned peaches in extra light syrup (6 Pints), canned pickled peaches (6 Pints), and peach butter (4 pints), and peach jam 12 jelly jars and 3 pint jars worth. Oh, and we ate some peaches too. Pickled Peaches 2 pounds of sugar 2 cups of white vinegar 2 T whole cloves 2 sticks of cinanananamon 4 quarts peaches
