I'm baaaack! Kind of- home in a few hours. What are your favorite summer recipes?
It's fantastic if you add a couple of teaspoons or so of really good quality vanilla extract (I like a *lot* of vanilla in this stuff) in there when you add the butter and lemon zest. I'm thinking that I want to try putting a split vanilla bean in there one of these days.Lemon curd: Peel the zest from two lemons, avoiding the white part whenever possible. Squeeze enough fresh lemons to get a cup and a half of juice. I only needed ten. Whisk together six whole eggs and one additional egg yolk. Whisk in the lemon juice and one cup of sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Heat over medium heat, stirring gently, for three minutes. Add ten tablespoons of butter (cut into small pieces) and the lemon zest and whisk constantly until it’s nice and thick, eight minutes or so. Pour into glass bowl/jar and allow to cool completely before removing the lemon zest. It’s good warm, but you can also put it in the fridge. This will keep in the fridge for about a week and a half.
I know exactly what you mean @@Allison H!!! I'm a tomatoholic myself. Haha. I hope you tried my recipe! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />@ I could eat tomatoes all day, everyday, and that's not much of an exaggeration. So yummy!
I think my husband would love this. He's tried a chocolate bar with bacon mixed in, and thought it was wonderful. Moderation for sure though... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />Actually, here's one for you: I know it sounds insane, but it's GOOD -- Chocolake Covered Bacon
1 pkg. (24oz.) Thick-Cut Applewood Smoked Bacon, cooked as crispy as you like. I heat it in a 350 degree oven on a foil-covered baking sheet (rimmed) for about 25-30 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Cool 10 minutes.
Melt 8 oz. Baker's Bittersweet Chocolate
Put drained bacon on waxed paper-covered baking sheet and spread the cocolate onto the bacon.
Be sure to let it chill in the fridge at least 30 minutes -- if you can wait!
A very special treat, especially if you're one of the sweet/salty lovers!
