The DIY Kitchen: Infused Olive Oils
I had always thought that infusing olive oils was as simple as sticking a few sprigs of an herb, or some lemon peel in a pretty bottle, where it could stay forever, looking pretty on your counter. Turns out, not so. When you’re using fresh herbs, citrus, or anything with a water content (read: fresh) [...]
The DIY Kitchen: Applesauce, Redux
As I mentioned, I was lucky enough to receive about a gazillion pounds of apples from my friend Stephanie. One half went into this delicious apple butter, but the other half I reserved for what is possibly my all-time favorite snack: applesauce.
Now, we’ve tackled applesauce before here on bklyn foodie, but these apples were so [...]
The DIY Kitchen: Apple Cider Cardamom Butter
A week or two ago, my good friend Stephanie gave me a 15-pound of apples. Stephanie is a teacher, and had taken her fourth graders apple picking — my bounty was the unclaimed treasure. I love apples and rarely end up keeping them around long enough to make them into anything, but with a bounty [...]
The DIY Kitchen: Sweet and Sour Pickled Red Onions
This week’s DIY Kitchen comes to us from Food in Jars. I love onions and I love them even more pickled, so when I noticed this while browsing through the site’s recipe archive, I had to make them immediately.
And oh there are so many uses for these pickles! A top a salad, served with some [...]
The DIY Kitchen: Oven-Dried Tomatoes
Oven-dried tomatoes are a cinch and far better (not to mention cheaper!) than those you can buy at even a very good store. Store them in plastic bags and stick them in the freezer for a few months or pack them in oil with some herbs for some seriously flavor-packing additions to pretty much anything. [...]
The DIY Kitchen: Sun Tea
Now that the hot days are wavering, I am savoring every last moment of sunshine. As a sort of literal embodiment of this, I have been making sun tea. Loads and loads of sun tea.
The recipe is simple: combine fresh herbs, maybe some citrus peel or cucumber slices, and hot water into a large [...]
The DIY Kitchen: Jacques Pepin’s Tibetan Flatbread
Last February, holed up in a Montauk hotel, I happened to catch an old episode of Jacques Pepin’s cooking show in which he made this great Tibetan flatbread. The process is remarkably quick and easy: mix flour, water, oil and baking powder and then fry in a pan for under 20 minutes. Without yeast or [...]
The DIY Kitchen: Peach Ginger Butter
After my first crack at canning was such a success, I decided to give it another go when I wound up with three pounds of peaches after a trip to the farmer’s market last week. I love fruit butters — they may be my favorite of the preserved fruit varieties — and this version with [...]
The DIY Kitchen: Garlicky Quick Pickles
My mom is somewhat of a pickle master. She only makes one kind — a mandarin orange-dill concoction — but they are the best. The bummer is that they take three weeks to cure, and who has time for that? In the mood for some pickles to throw on the table tonight, I turned to [...]
