SPICED UP - JUNE 2017
PEAR WHITE BALSAMIC VINEGAR
Taste: Sweet and Tangy
Use this vinegar in place of your usual balsamic and take your dishes to a new level. This was a perfect compliment to my flatbread pizza topped with prosciutto, blue cheese, pecans with this pear balsamic reduction. To make the reduction in a small pot, over medium heat, I added 1 Tbs. brown sugar to 2 Tbs. Pear White Balsamic letting it come to a gentle boil. I continued to cook it until it became syrupy. Make sure to keep a close eye on the reduction. With the remaining balsamic I look forward to making the Strawberry Avocado Spinach Salad recipe included in the box.
CRAZY SCORPION RUB
Taste and Aroma: Hot and Smoky
This rub can be used on anything you plan on grilling. It works well on veggies, roasts, burgers, steaks, pork and chicken. I saw it recently posted seasoning similar to this with grilled shrimp. I think I will give that a go this weekend.
PICKLING SPICE
Taste and Aroma: Sweet, spicy and tangy
Quick pickles are a rage right now. I have not tried to make them so this has given me a great excuse to try them with the recipe included for Thai Sweet and Spicy Pickles. This pickling spice can also be used for pickling or canning tomatoes, peppers, eggs and onions.
