"This is adapted from "Emeril at the Grill", a cookbook I enjoy very much. I used this spread on lamb burgers, but it would also be great as a vegetable dip (thinned a bit) or a sandwich spread. The original recipe calls for mint, which I don't care for, so I replaced it with basil. Cooking time does not include time to chill."

We enjoy this with the delicious meal of Shoarma Spice Mix marinated chicken breast, Lebanese Rice With Sharia (Vermicelli) (Gluten Free) & Middle Eastern Lebanese Fattoush Bread Salad, omitting the bread to be gluten free. A meal like the Ottawa restaurants' only way better! Modified from experimenting with Garlic Mayonnaise (Aioli) to fit..."

"A mix of ready-to-eat and unripe Concord grapes from our backyard vineyard make a perfectly set, tangy jam. It'll stain your fingers and your tongue a delicious grapey purple! When harvesting, make sure you get some of the green (unripe) grapes in your basket: they have more pectin which makes for a better set. Makes 6 250mL (1/2 pint) jars, 2-tbsp..."

I've left the recipe below as I was given it by a friend, but the only chilies I had were Scotch Bonnets and 100g would have blown your head off, so I reduced the quantity somewhat! Mine was also a little..."

"This home-made cranberry sauce can be made in minutes; is ridiculously easy; and absolutely scrumptious. Once you make this, you will never be caught dead buying a jar of pre-made cranberry sauce again. I have always loved cranberry sauce, and this blend is a winner. I have deliberately kept it very basic. I just love the simplicity of the flavors -..."
