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!
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.
Fish tacos
For at least 10 years we have escaped the New England winters with a trip to a favorite beach in Mexico. Our family is deep into work – whatever that is – so not everyone makes it to our beach getaway every time. Once we are there, getting and making good fish tacos is top of our list – that and getting to the beach. I travel with jams – (also olive oil and good knives) so I bring along Red Pepper jelly and use it with the fish tacos I make. Sometimes the fish is battered and sometimes not. Here is a recipe I think is really good with either batter-fried or grilled fish.
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.
Jam-Filled Crepes for Your Valentine
I have always considered crepes the most elegant of dishes, whether as a dessert or an over the top breakfast dish. For a dessert-type filling almost any flavor of jam will do, but I think strawberry is a perfect fit for Valentine's Day.
