Lemon-Ginger Curd

By
Another family favorite - lemon curd - but with a twist.

While Jake and Riley are hard at work on Riley's mission project, I took Dylan on as my sous-chef. It took some practice, but he was zesting like a champ after the first lemon.














3 large lemons
3/4 C raw sugar
8 T butter
8 large egg yolks
1 T ginger syrup
1/2 t ground ginger

Zest the lemons, squeeze and strain the juice. Combine the zest, juice, sugar, ginger syrup and butter and bring to a boil. Meanwhile beat the yolks. Add 1/3 of the boiling liquid to the beaten yolks then add the mixture back into the boiling liquid. Add ground ginger. Continue beating over medium heat until it thickens. Be careful not to let the curd boil or it will scramble. Pour the curd into a bowl and press plastic wrap against the surface to prevent a film from forming. Chill completely. Spoon into sterilized jars and keep in the fridge.

      Thank you! I also found it on Amazon.com, from someone who apparently got it from Abe's Market as well. Sounds really yummy!

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
