Web Chef Review: Napa Valley Vinegar Co. Champagne Pear Vinegar
Napa Valley Vinegar Co. Champagne Pear Vinegar is as delicious as it sounds, and just as versatile. This beautiful, yellow-colored vinegar is made with white wine vinegar and true pear purée so the flavor is full of the essence and bits of pears. When you open the bottle the smell of pears is the first thing you notice and this lovely vinegar goes so well on a salad, as a marinade, on chicken, veal, beef or fish. I used it on a...
How to Oven-Bake Spiced Pear & Rhubarb with Verjus in Stoneware Ramekins + Video
I like to prepare this delicious Oven-Baked Pear & Rhubarb with Verjus in Stoneware Ramekins, and bring these pretty clay pots to the table with the lids on. It would be perfectly fine to make this dessert in large cups or mugs that will hold 2 1/2 cups. The dessert is best served warm and I like to leave a 3/4 inch space at the top, so each diner can add a nice dollop of whipped cream to the top, at the table. How to Oven-Bake...

That is one of the tastiest beverages I’ve ever had! It’s alcoholic, yes, but is really not overbearing, and no, it doesn’t taste like beer at all, even though it’s draft. Woodchuck is made in Vermont the “old-school”...
Golden Pear Liqueur is Delectable!

The alcohol content is 30% and it is recommended to drink on the rocks or with a few drops of lemon juice. I would love to use this in...
Why You Should Never Throw Out Fruit Peelings
Don’t worry…I’m going to explain why you should Never Throw Out Your Fruit Peelings! At worst, they are added to my compost. At best, they are added to a batch of wine mash, I make a variety of tepache – typically, made with pineapple peels, but you can use other fruit peelings to make a version of tepache – or I make a fruit vinegar. I make small batches of these delights over the year. Never Throw Out...
