Orangette's Italian Prune Jam
http://orangette.net/2014/10/the-satisfaction/
Followed this to the letter and it is amazing.
2:1 Fruit:Sugar by weight
Lemon juice.
Combine and allow to sit at room temperature for a few hours until juicy.
Cook until starting to set per freezer test. (Approx 220 degrees.)
Process jars for ten minutes.
Lentil Salad
- green french lentils, slightly under cooked (cooked in broth)
- barely steamed chopped asparagus
- medium steamed chopped carrots
- chopped cucumber
- dried cranberries
- feta cheese
- chopped tomatoes
- chopped bell pepper
- spinach
dressing:
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- lemon zest
- lemon juice
Try next time with fresh parsley and chopped salted pistachios on top
Refrigerator Pickles
2 1/2 cups water
2 1/2 cups distilled white vinegar
2 Tbsp sugar
1/4 cup salt
Black peppercorns
Celery seed
Mustard seeds
Red pepper flakes
Sliced garlic
Fresh dill
Boil and pour over sliced veggies in jars. Refrigerate for at least 2 weeks (tasted too salty prior to that). Zucchini was really good; also green beans and carrots.

Chocolate Cherry Cookies
I meant to get a photo of these cookies once I put them out at the potluck, but I ended up completely forgetting. So instead, a picture of the potluck itself!
These are made just like chocolate chip cookies (cream the butter and sugar, add the eggs and vanilla, and then the dry stuff)
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1 cup cocoa
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/8 tsp almond extract
- 1 cup dried sour cherries
- 1 2/3 cup chocolate chips (I used a mix of semisweet, milk chocolate, and white chocolate)
- 1 cup butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
Baking them for 9 1/2 - 10 minutes, using my larger ice cream scoop (leveled) seemed to be exactly perfect - chewy, and they stayed chewy even after they had cooled.
