I promised you a review and recipe for this, and here it is! I got the idea from this months’ SELF magazine, but I tweaked it for a variety of reasons. Note: The pictures are kind of awful, since the light in the house wasn’t great and my tripod is in my car.

It was wonderful to see Channon again. She continues to inspire me, educate me, and make me laugh. Her class at Sur La Table went beautifully, and in just a few weeks she’ll be off to Turkey. Color me jealous!

I realized that I didn’t have any photos of what I actually *do* when I preserve foods, so I am going to make a more concious effort to set up the tripod and get some shots of what actually goes on in Chef Shawn’s Kitchen. This means you’re all going to see me at my [...]

The harvest season is in full swing, and it’s the perfect time to think ahead to the long months we’ll have without this bounty.
Above: Peach sauce, made with local scratch-and-dent peaches. We rarely sweeten any of our sauces, and this sauce in particular didn’t need it. The flavor is fresh and rich–we’ll enjoy this treat [...]

Many of you know I was on hiatus for the last several weeks due to travel, and some of you know I had a birthday while I was gone. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to spend it with Thadd; but, upon my return home, he gave me one of the coolest birthday gifts ever:
