Strawberry Honey Jam
Two of nature’s most beloved ingredients combine to make this delicious Strawberry Honey Jam.
Homemade Madras Curry Paste
The nice thing about making your own curry paste is that like anything homemade, not only is it far fresher than anything store-bought, but it is also completely customizable. This really makes a difference when it comes to heat level. I consider this recipe as written to be about a “medium” heat level. For “mild” omit the jalapenos, and for “hot” use 3 jalapenos and add 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (or to taste).
Creme Brulee Ice Cream
Quite possibly one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten in my entire life. Imagine if you will, plunging your spoon through a crispy layer of caramelized sugar to expose a silky layer of frozen creme brulee ice cream beneath. Oh yea baby, this recipe is worth every single calorie-laden bite. Break out the kitchen torch! Your family and friends are going to flip over this one.

Interesting!!

Oh my! I wish I had seen this recipe before my peppermint plant died out! Putting this in my recipe box here at TK for next year!
Natasha @ Saved by the Egg Timer on 9.26.2010
Hope your Peppermint is abundant next year!

I agree with the previous comment from eq4bits that I wish I’d seen this sooner. I had so much mint I didn’t know what to do with it all – but sadly it has withered for winter now…. can’t wait to try next year!

Looks great. How long will it last in the pantry?
Natasha @ Saved by the Egg Timer on 10.15.2010
It’s all vodka so I would say forever! I should also note that I use at least 80 proof. Don’t let that scare you. It is the same way vanilla and other extracts are made too. This is so versatile, I put in my coffee creamer too for mocha mint lattes, brownies, ice cream, chocolate ganache….can’t wait to make my chocolate mint cookies for Christmas with this!

Do you need to shake it everyday for 30 days, or just on the first day that you make it? This sounds so wonderful!
Natasha @ Saved by the Egg Timer on 10.29.2010
No- just shake it whenever you see it and think of it….Mine is in my pantry so I would pass by it and give it a whirl. I have started using it for coffee, hot cocoa and baking. It is wonderful!

Can this be used in baking when peppermint extract is called for?
Natasha @ Saved by the Egg Timer on 1.13.2011
Yes, perfect for baking. I used it for my Chocolate Mint Truffle Kisses and they where outstanding. Wonderful flavor and knowing you made it is such a wonderful and accomplished feeling.
