Strawberry Champagne Jam

Little known fact: I hate drinking champagne. I know; how un-bougie of me, right? It isn’t just champagne though. I don’t know if it’s from all the times orange soda spray out of my nostrils as a child (which somehow happened every birthday party I attended), or because of the way it burns as it runs down my esophagus, but anything carbonated turns me way off. So yeah, basically I don’t like the bubbly part of bubbly. I do however love baking with champagne, and this tasty strawberry champagne jam is one of my favs. The best part of this jam is how quickly and easily it can be made. Also, if you are a fan of bubbly beverages, you’ll have half a bottle left to throw back once you’re done making this recipe. Win-win, folks!For recipes like this and more, be sure to follow me on Instagram and subscribe to the Cashmere & Cocktails blog!

Easy Refrigerator Dill Pickles Recipe, One Jar at a Time

I developed this refrigerator pickle recipe that helps me quickly can the cukes when harvested. This refrigerator dill pickles recipe for small batch or large is based on a variety of recipes I have used in my quest of replicating that Clausen pickle taste that we are seeking. It also has the additional benefit of leaving out some of the unnecessary (in my book) additives that even my beloved Clausens contain.

Kimchi

When we first started to cook more often, we took a bunch of cooking classes. One of the first classes we took was a Korean cooking class. Here we learned many dishes but one that stuck out was the kimchi. Both Phillip and I always loved kimchi and would buy it from the store all the time. Once we took this class and learned just how easy it was to make, we started making it all the time. That way we could have a batch or two fermenting when we make a new batch.

Preserved Lemons

If, like us, you have a glut of fruit and veg from the garden, or you just want to work on your preservation skills, now is a great time of year to start (end of Summer into Autumn). Preserving means you get to keep the delicious in-season produce tasting good into the winter months and make it go further, as well as avoiding any of it going to waste.We recently found out just how easy these are to make so we have made a few different batches to play around with flavours. For our first go we kept it basic with just lemon and salt but we decided to add some extra flavour to these by adding some fresh thyme. We have just recently started cooking with our first batch and we are so pleased with them! They smell and taste amazing and are probably the lowest maintenance preserve we’ve ever made, so if you are looking for a place to start, this might well be it.To see more recipes and food ideas, visit our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/food_for_daise/

Pickled Sweet Corn

Growing up in Illinois, I was surrounded by corn fields. So, to me, summer is pretty synonymous with schucking sweet corn.There’s so many ways to induldge in sweet corn, but here’s my new favorite. Pickled corn. Certainly not something you hear very often. But, have you tried it? I have been pickling a lot of produce from my garden this summer, and pickled corn is truly my new favorite.You can try it on everything: salads, quesadillas, flatbreads, omelettes, noodles. Honestly, I just eat it plain.What better way to use that fresh seasonal corn? You can still find it in grocery stores, so make it fast!
