A family Christmas cookie favorite. #GlobalApron 2024

Found online but it had too many spices, so I made it more simple. Goes great with my collards recipe.

Grilled pork chops are an alternative (to chicken & steaks) when cooking outdoors. Done properly by searing the meat and not overcooking them, the meat will retain its internal juices. The sauce (alternative to bbq sauce) adds a really nice flavor.

The packages in my photo say 2021 because I wrote up this recipe back then but apparently never "published" it.Making your own breakfast sausage can be an excellent way to cut costs in your grocery bill AND control what is going into your family's food.It's important to use a "fatty" cut of pork. Something with at least a 80/20 fat content or even 75/25. Pork butt roast and nice, fatty pork steaks are just about perfect to these ratios so are the best options.Now, this recipe calls for grinding the meat yourself, but if you don't have a meat grinder you can always use pre-ground pork or even ask your butcher to grind up the pork butt or steaks you choose. Just mix the seasonings into the meat and leave refrigerated 12-24 hrs before using.

I didn’t use the wine, mostly because I didn’t have any. So I “borrowed” some whiskey from my neighbor, with the promise of some cookies. Even trade. Lol

Boiling pork is an easy way of infusing mild flavors into pork so it can still be used in making other recipes. It will take on a mild flavor leaving a wonderful flavored broth. It's also an easy way of getting the pork done. The liquids after cooking can be used to boil in making rice, use in gravy, flavoring vegetables, couscous and so on...The pork can be frozen, pan fried, pull pork, and sliced thinly for a wonderful sandwich. It can be used so many ways.

There's no Christmas in Jamaica without this tasty rum fruit cake.

Whether it is called Plum Pudding or Christmas Pudding, this traditional Christmas desert finds its roots in a medieval harvest dish, an unsweetened wheat stew called "frumenty". It can be traced back even farther to Scandinavian and Russian preparations. Gradually beef broth was added along with brown bread for thickening. Spices and dried fruit like raisins and currants added interest. According to English tradition, it should be prepared on "Stir Up Sunday", the first Sunday of Advent and everyone in the household from the the babe-in-arms to the oldest member should take a turn at the mixing. This is an adaptation of a recipe dating back to 1845, found in a publication by Overwaitea Foods Ltd and further adapted by my wife... Note.. Very filling.

A great and easy recipe for some quality pulled pork

A very tender tangy pork cutlet. I paired it up with pork pasta with cheese.

This cake can be made a couple of months before Christmas and stored in a cool, dry place. Eat as it is (as a fruit cake) or just before Christmas, marzipan the cake (https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/11174930-how-to-marzipan-a-cake) and cover with Royal Icing (https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/11174895-royal-icing).#nikicuisine #mycookbook
