Asparagus Pickles with Grape Leaves

By Maureen Abood On July 2, 2020 · 2 Comments · In Maza, Appetizers and Dips, Preserves and Pickles, Summer, Vegetables, Vegetarian

By Maureen Abood On September 7, 2018 · 16 Comments · In Gluten-Free, Maza, Appetizers and Dips, Preserves and Pickles, Summer, Techniques, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian, Your Favorites
My bread and butter sweet pickle chips are so simple to make, but huge on flavor and crunch. The sweet onion is as delicious as the cucumbers in these refrigerator pickles.

By Maureen Abood On August 3, 2018 · 8 Comments · In Gluten-Free, Preserves and Pickles, Stories and Recipes, Summer, Techniques, Vegan, Vegetarian, Yogurt, Labneh and Laban
Raspberry rose jelly is a beautiful way to enjoy ultra-pure raspberry flavor with no seeds. The rose water makes the raspberry taste even more raspberry! Everyone has a texture thing of one sort or another, don’t you think? My texture thing is not extensive, really it’s not. Oysters? No problem. Pate? Yes please. Labneh and [...]

Cranberry sauce is such a natural with rose water, which brings out the cran-flavor and balances the sweet-tart beautifully. Be sure to use the rose water with restraint!

Simple Raspberry Jam Recipe

By Maureen Abood On July 21, 2017 · 1 Comment · In Gluten-Free, Pastry and Sweets, Preserves and Pickles, Summer, Techniques, Vegan, Your Favorites
When you pick raspberries the way my clan does, the abundance of fruit leads to an array of aspirational raspberry-laden recipes. In the end, though, it’s the simple raspberry jam recipe that takes over the lion’s share of fruit…the very best way to prolong our raspberry season joy. I love how these preserves do just [...]
