Potlicker is on the move. Fall is setting in and the summer farmer’s market season is coming to a close. That leaves just a few weeks to stock up on summer flavors before they disappear. Hard to say what my favorite combination is, Blackberry Lemon on toast or Yellow Tomato & Basil over goat cheese. …
Wine Jelly Glazed Carrots
My garden is over grown and I no longer care. I can still wade through it and find some things growing. I even think I see brussels sprouts starting to rise over the weeds. They are tucked to the back of the garden and I have a hard time getting in there to confirm the …
Blackberry Lemon Jelly
The blackberries are in! This might be my favorite time of the summer. Every week of the season we paced up and down the length of the blackberry patch inspecting and speculating about the upcoming berry crop for year. The sighting of the first juicy blackberry of the year elicits giggles of delight, I just …
Balsamic Jelly Glaze Over Baked Fish
Balsamic vinegar jelly is my latest favorite flavor! Recently, while keeping a gluten free diet to diagnose food allergies I had to give up my favorite beer jelly. A sad day in jelly land. What was I going to put on sandwiches and eat with cheese?? Balsamic Jelly turns out to be a great choice. …
Cilantro Peanut Pesto
This is my all-time favorite pesto. No lies, I plant cilantro just for this event. In fact, in order to ensure an uninterrupted supply of cilantro all summer long I sow seeds every other week. Make this pesto when the herb garden needs trimming as it uses plenty of parsley, chive, and basil too. I …
2 Wrongs Make the Right BBQ Sauce.

And truthfully, I am not a very good liar. Instead, I like to repurpose my mistakes. Turn them into something spectacular …
Apple Pecan Rosemary Baklava
Rosemary Garlic Chablis Wine Jelly is a personal favorite and very first Potlicker flavor. The jelly itself is inspired by an apple rosemary jelly from a family friend. In fact, she is the hostess with the mostess. I imagine that she would serve this Apple Pecan Rosemary Baklava at her very posh parties. This is …
Tasting Size Tart Shells
A few of you admired my tartlet shells from the tasting at the Woodstock Farmers Market over the weekend. Perfectly bite-sized, each one is just larger than the size of a quarter. Fill the shells with just about anything and you have the cutest little appetizer or dessert. After many years of passing appetizers at …

Sweet Fiddlehead Pickles and Post-Flooding Foraging
Things are starting to grow. Finally the weather is warm enough to allow the green to begin to show. It will be interesting to see how the green grows this year given the events of last summer. Hurricane Irene rained down upon Vermont and flooding changed the landscape. Importantly, it changed the riverbeds. Just out …
