You can do this with any soft flesh fruit like blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or a combination. I use this on salads, fruits, veggies, pasta and pasta salads, sandwiches, chicken dishes, bread dipper, even drizzle over cheese or sorbet.
Bee's Blackberry Balsamic Vinegar

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Place blackberries in glass or ceramic bowl and pour vinegar over berries.
- 2
Using the back of a large fork, smash down berries until small bits remain. (You can use whatever you have handy to squish the berries ).
- 3
Let sit for at least 45 minutes allowing the vinegar to break down (maturate) the blackberry flesh. The longer you let it sit the more the berries will infuse with the vinegar.
- 4
While it's infusing, go back periodically and smash berries against side of the bowl with back of fork to further continue the breaking down process of the berries.
- 5
When ready strain liquid through a fine sieve/stainer to remove seeds.
- 6
Mixture will be slightly thickened, use a bowl or tall glass to help push mixture through strainer. Gather mixture together and repeat straining process, pressing down firmly on glass or bowl, so you really get all the sweet blackberry pulp. Continue until a slightly dried, seedy mass remains, discard.
- 7
Pour the flavored vinegar into a bottle or jar with a lid (if using salt or seasoning, add now cover and shake to combine). Keep sealed and refrigerated. Yields about 1 cup.

Soy Balsamic Rosemary Lemon Marinade Soy Balsamic Rosemary Lemon Marinade
The rosemary and lemon zest make this marinade a great complement for the somewhat grassy and gamey flavor of lamb, but it's also great for dark meat chicken, pork chops, and beef (we especially love it with tritip!).As always, one of the most effective methods for even marinating is to put your protein in a Ziploc-type bag, pour your marinade in, coat the protein, suck all the air out of the bag before you seal it so that the bag clings to the protein, and then lay it flat in the fridge, flipping it over halfway through the marinade time. (Except in the case of something like rack of lamb where all the muscle is on one side, in which case, just leave the meat side down.)If I have a considerable about of marinade left, I often like to make extra sauce of it by bringing it to a gentle boil on medium high heat for about 1 minute with about a Teaspoon of oil (and maybe also a Tablespoon of brown sugar), and then bring the heat down to low and simmer for another 3 or 4 minutes before cutting the heat. I then just spoon it over the meat before serving, and that extra punch of flavor always goes over well. x -

Something I came up with for our breakfast out on the patio with ingredients I had on hand. More an idea than a straight recipe.Would be a great accompaniment to a charcuterie or cheese plate, too.Hubbalicious and I both agree this one's a keeper. :)If the strawberries aren't that sweet, don't hesitate to toss them with just a bit of sugar, not only to increase their sweetness, but also to create better contrast of flavors. x -

Gingered Fig Jam Gingered Fig Jam
'Tis fig season! :)Love this stuff with all kinds of cheeses, on toast or biscuits, with ice cream, over plain cheesecake, mixed into plain yogurt...Since I don't can for long storage, I don't go through the usual canning sterilization rigmarole. I just wash a lidded bottle or plastic container with dish soap and hot water, thoroughly rinse and dry, and place the cooled jam in the container for refrigeration. It should keep at least a couple of months that way.This recipe takes anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes depending on the water content of the fruit, the weather, and how thick you like your jam. x
