    Kya’s Blackberry Jam

    October 17, 2020 / 0 Comments

    She twisted the cloth bag with the jam so that it was wrung tight and knotted against the jars. As the boys drew even with the thicket, she swung the heavy bag and whacked the closest one hard across the back of his head.

    Quince Jelly

    February 17, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Quince is a fascinating fruit. I had mine delivered via FedEx and even through all the plastic packaging and bubble wrap I was captivated by their sweet aroma. Once unwrapped, my kitchen became fragrantly delightful, the smell reminiscent of pears and roses. Not only is this one of the most delicious charcuterie options I’ve ever tasted, it’s different and easy to make!!  Ingredients 2 lbs quince, peeled and cored 3 cups sugar 2 T lemon juice 2 strips of lemon zest, 2″ long 1 cup water Simmer all ingredients 1 hour until temperature hits 220 degrees Fahrenheit. Blend. Fill a greased 8×8 pan and let come to room temperature before refrigerating.

Whatever shall we do after reading the Bridgerton Whatever shall we do after reading the Bridgerton series?? ⠀
⠀
I have an answer, my friends: Edie Cay. ⠀
Three words- Feminist 👏 Regency 👏 Romance 👏 ⠀
⠀
When @authorediecay reached out to me to request a cocktail creation for her new book, The Boxer and The Blacksmith, I was flattered. But after reading the book, I was honored. ⠀
⠀
✨✨(Win two copies now- one for you and one for a friend!! Check out my last post to enter the giveaway through today, 1/14.)✨✨⠀
⠀
Now for the cocktail deets. Gin, club soda, honey and charred orange simple syrup and a purple iced tea cube. ⠀
⠀
All of the heat and smoke of a blacksmith with the knockout punch of a boxer. 🥃 This complex yet simply delicious cocktail is a wonderful accomplice to Edie Cay’s Feminist Regency Romance, The Boxer and The Blacksmith. I highly recommend both! ⠀

Daisy Jones and the Six ~ A Rockin Good Time⠀
⠀
Is @tjenkinsreid Janice Joplin reincarnated? How does she come up with this realistic to the bone, all encompassing look into rock stars’ lives? And not just one but 7 of them?!? I absolutely loved Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones rocked. I bow to the talent that oozes out of TJR and she will always be an automatic buy for me. ⠀
⠀
PS. I very highly recommend listening to this book on audio. The star-studded cast of narrators includes Jennifer Beals and Benjamin Bratt 🤩⠀
⠀
Also, stay tuned. Thanks to @librariana_ I am now aware of a peanut butter whiskey 🥃 that will compliment Daisy Jones perfectly. 🔥⠀
