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.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

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...
