Triple Ginger Loaf

By
Inspired by some candied ginger biscotti that Jake brought home, I decided to make an ultra-gingery treat.

1/2 C butter
1/4 C organic granulated sugar
1 C chestnut flour
2 C white whole wheat flour
1/2 t salt
2 t ground ginger
1 t cinnamon
1 t nutmeg
1 t all-spice
1 egg
1 C hot water
1/2 C unsulfured molasses
1/2 ginger syrup

Cream sugar and butter, add dry ingredients, add egg, molasses, ginger syrup and water, stir until completely moistened. Pour into mini loaf pans and press crystallized ginger into the top of the loaves.

Bake at 375 degrees for 50 minutes.

I like my gingerbread dense and almost pudding-like. If you like a lighter, more cake-like, gingerbread. Add 1-1/2 t of baking powder to this recipe.

    Camilla this looks absolutely fantastic on a number of levels, first for flavour. As it is rather cold and snowy in something my tastebuds want waking up so tick for the ginger. I have chestnut flour to be used in my cupboard so another tick there and final tick for presentation, this Triple ginger loaf just looks beautifully tempting to the eyes. Full marks.

    I've been looking over several of your recipes and I love how you have so many spiced treats on your blog. They all look delicious and I'll have to come back to see some more later on. I'm following you now. If you get a chance, come over and see my blog too.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
