Pop Tarts-inspired Goat Cheese & Pumpkin Butter Tart

By


Last night, at a friend's 40th birthday party, he received a box of Pop-Tarts from some friends. Don't ask! I don't...

But sometimes that's all it takes to get my culinary gears churning. I woke up this morning, thinking I would make my own version for breakfast. I intended to make pocket-sized rectangular tarts, but ended up with one large round tart that we sliced into wedges.

I am certain that this tastes nothing like a Pop-tart, but it was Pop tart-inspired.

4 C flour
3/4 C espresso
3/4 C olive oil
2 1/2 t baking powder

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, blend all of the crust ingredients and knead to form a soft dough. Divide the dough in half and roll each out into a round shape.

Place one round on a baking stone. Crumble chevre (goat cheese) in the middle, leaving about an inch border around the outside of the filling. Spoon pumpkin butter over the cheese and place the second crust on top of that. Fold the edges together to close the tart. Gently crimp. Cut whatever designs you wish in the top. This morning I chose hearts! Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon

Bake for 45 minutes, until the crust is crisp and golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before glazing. Drizzle with a powdered sugar glaze and sprinkle with more cinnamon and sugar before serving. Serve warm.

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."

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...
