Bonnie's Recipes
We love to use Bonnie’s Jams in so many of our favorite recipes. The luscious fruit flavors of our jams shine as a signature ingredient in everything from cocktails or mocktails, glazes and sauces, dolloped as a topping for crepes and pancakes, and of course, used as the starring accoutrement on your next cheese and charcuterie board!
Pumpkin spice pancakes
I have learned to stock up on pumpkins in October and use them through the winter season. Here is my Pumpkin Pancake recipe made tastier by the addition of some of my Apricot Orange Jam.
Spiked Summer Iced Tea
When I visit friends in the South, I learn to drink copious amounts of iced tea. On one visit I had a version of this spiked with bourbon. Either way, the presentation of our version made with jam as a taste booster is beautiful and delicious.
Peach Ginger Flatbread Pizza
Sometimes in summer it is puzzling to figure out what to have for a lazy lunch or dinner. This could be a good solution. Pair this flatbread with a simple salad and a glass of white wine and you are all set.
Fourth of July Grilled Skirt Steak
Have you discovered skirt steak? A long jagged looking thin cut about 5 inches wide, not nearly as expensive as conventional steak cuts. When grilled, skirt steak has tons of flavor with a juicy middle and tasty, crispy edges. Because this cut is thin, it is a quick cut to grill. If you are looking for something to serve for 4th of July, this is it.
Leafy Green & Strawberry Salad
As you can imagine, I adore making jam and obsessed with trying new combinations. I like choosing the fruit, chopping, cutting, cooking, and especially tasting and re-tasting. After all the stirring and tasting, I begin to yearn for greens. A big salad. This is one of my favorite combinations and even includes some spoonfuls of my jam.
Roast Duck to Make Your Special Day Sweet - and Spicy!
From my earliest memories of family gatherings, duck was always the meal that signaled celebration. We all loved a juicy, crispy-skinned roast chicken. But duck! Duck was for special occasions. This is one of my favorite special occasion recipes. One duck can serve four, but I think that this dish is also the perfect romantic dinner for two.
