Pumpkins

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

With the fall Solstice just past I have pumpkins on the brain.

From Better Homes and Gardens website I found 36 recipes for pumpkins because you just have to make something other then pie with it!

Does anyone have some good recipes?


Cardamom and Ginger Bars with Local Honey glaze

Friday, September 24th, 2010

So I have been on this sweet kick for the last couple of weeks and this is one of the items I made. I have made this recipe twice now and everyone has gone gaga for it. I like it because it is super easy and I get wonderful complments. Everyone should get wonderful complments from baking!

I have adapted the recipe from the Saveur magazine.

I used the recipe exactly as is for the shortbread. What I changed was the topping.

14 teaspoons of butter or one stick and 6 teaspoons
4 tsp ginger
2 1/2 tsp cardamom
1 tsp salt
3 Table spoon honey. I use a local honey

 

While the shortbread is finishing up in the oven put all of the topping ingredients in a saucepan and heat on medium high heat until bubbly. Then let it cook about five to ten minutes, like you would a caramel. When it sheets off of your spoon it is ready.

When the shortbread comes out of the oven spread it on top.

Now you have an easy and yummy recipe!
