PB & Marionberry J Fudge #PeanutButterandJellyDay #FestiveFoodies


Kate of Kate's Recipe Box invited the Festive Foodies to join her in celebrating National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day. Though peanut butter and jelly isn't normally a combination that I make, I jumped in.

The PB& J Line-Up

PB & Marionberry J Fudge 

Technically, the 'J' in my title is for marionberry jam, not jelly. Whoops. I didn't have time to remake it and it was perfect as is. Really. And, while I typically make fudge with condensed milk, I decided to try a different process.

Ingredients makes an 8" x 8" pan

  • 1 C butter
  • 1 C peanut butter (I like Justin's, just be sure to stir the oil in before you use it)
  • 1 t pure vanilla extract
  • 3-1/2 C organic powdered sugar, sifted
  • jam or jelly (I used marionberry jam)
  • Also needed parchment paper



Procedure
Line an 8" x 8" square pan with parchment paper leaving a slight overhang. 

Combine the butter and peanut butter in a medium saucepan. Heat over low-medium heat until the butter is melted. Whisk until smooth.

Using a wooden spoon, stir in vanilla and powdered sugar until combined and thickened.

Spread evenly in the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and spread a thin layer of jam over the top. Allow to set for about an hour in the fridge before serving. Longer is fine, too.


Lift fudge out from pan using the parchment overhang and slice into 1" pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams.

Ki Ngombo = Okra

In honor of Mardi Gras, I searched for traditional recipes for gumbo...only to discover that there is no canonical recipe for gumbo. It seems there are as many recipes for gumbo as there are cooks!  The only two constants in a gumbo: variety and okra. The term 'gumbo' likely comes from an African dialect whose word for okra is ki ngombo .  Gumbos can have meat, seafood, just about anything.  In Mark Huntsman's "The History of Gumbo" he refers to written mentions of using muskrat and owl in gumbo recipes.  I embraced the unlimited potential of ingredients and opted for a combination of fish, chicken, pancetta, oysters, mussels, octopus, shrimp, and squid...and lots of okra!
