Here in Jelly Land, I am always thinking of new flavors of, and ways to use, jelly. When people ask me what to do with all the jelly they have at home, I often recommend that they use their favorite flavor of jelly as a cake filling. The easiest way to fill a cake is …
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 …
Peanut Butter & Jelly Muffins
In need of comfort food? I am. Accident and injury prone me has been laid up yet again this year. I swear I'm not a complete klutz! Not being able to do things for myself is a huge downer because I am pretty sure that I can do anything and everything when healthy. Lucky for …
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. …

2 Wrongs Make the Right BBQ Sauce.
Fellow jelly folks can probably relate to having a number of un-gelled jars lurking around. Sure, I can call it syrup and pretend I meant to do that, but I would just be lying. 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 …
