General kitchen advice

Buy Local Food : If you were to turn back the clock 100 years, what would gardeners in your area be growing? Try regional heirloom varieties of garden standbys such as beans, squash, tomatoes and melons, which were selected for their flavors and reliability in the days when personal survival often depended upon a garden’s success. Appalachian “greasy” beans or creamy New England-bred butternut squash can help open the door to great flavors from the past.

Ingredients And Procedures

6 oz Hazlenuts*

1 Vanilla bean (1 inch)

1 pn Allspice

1 1/2 c Vodka

1/3 c Sugar syrup (see recipe)

Chop the hazlenuts to release the flavor of the nut and add to vodka, vanilla bean, and allspice. Age for 2 weeks, shaking lightly occasionally. Strain and filter until clear. Add sugar syrup, if desired, and age for an additional 3 weeks. Ready to serve. Makes a nice gift and is nice over ice cream as well as an aperitif. *Try using pistachios which also make a delicious liqueur.
