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 …
This is my favorite volunteer day soup. Beginning last fall, I spend a couple of hours every Wednesday morning hanging out at the South Royalton Market. Actually it qualifies as volunteering but really it is a great opportunity to ‘get off the farm’ and socialize. The South Royalton Market is a full-service grocery store offering …
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 …

I occasionally baste the pears …

It is also dairy free, can be gluten free, and suitable for a vegan palate. So how did this wonder-pie come about?? I occasionally get emails with a recipe …
Sunchokes or Jerusalem artichokes are a particularly fantastic nuisance to have around. In the late summer, sunchokes may easily be mistaken for an average sunflower. Wait until cold weather (spring or fall), however, and they are a plentiful food crop. This time of year, dig into the cool ground and you will find loads of …
My mom is always an inspiration in my cooking. Days when I miss my family, I make things that remind me of home. Growing up my mother made something she called student's ragu. It is a layered and simmered dish all done in mom’s electric skillet. Mom’s ragu has potatoes, onions, ground beef and the …
This chicken is not only succulent and tasty, it also uses one of my favorite preserves, Marmalade. I happen to have many jars of homemade marmalade on hand, some good and some not. I actually have more of the not so amazing marmalade because it took me a while to find a favorite. Point of …
I have told you before that wontons are a great way to use up small amounts of leftovers. Here is more proof. The other day I pulled some leftover chili from the depths of my freezer. It struck me as odd because rarely is there any leftover chili in the house. Tall Dark and Handsome …
