marinades

Basil Mint Oil

At the end of the summer I have so much basil in my yard so just before cooler temperatures set in, I make lots of basil oil and pass out to my friends. Drizzle it on anything from vegetables to grilled fish.

Strawberry Balsamic Jam

This recipe is from an excellent book, Well-Preserved by Eugenia Bone. I agree with her, this recipe is best when using fresh, in season strawberries. The jam is not only amazing on toast, but it compliments goat cheese and ice cream too!

Homemade Tartar Sauce

A classic Southern condiment, I serve this tatar sauce with everything from
grilled shrimp to crab cakes.

Joan’s Homemade Barbeque Sauce

My grandfather managed to weasel this recipe from a famous, local barbeque restaurant. My mom and I make batches at a time and keep jars on hand for gifts. The sauce has the perfect balance of tangy and sweet and makes amazing barbeque chicken and ribs.

Homemade Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise was my favorite condiment growing up, but somehow I never tried homemade mayonnaise until recently. Unfortunately, it is very easy to make and highly addictive.
