Honey Plum Tartlet

Honey Plum Tartlet -- A Pinch of Joy 3 ingredients for a sweet ending to your meal!

Honey Plum Tartlets – Quick, easy, three ingredients, looks fabulous, and tastes as good as it looks! Just the right size for a  touch of sweetness after a good meal. At our house, plums are a seasonal thing. Wheels loves to eat them out of hand, but there are always two or three left setting in the bowl for several days. This is a good way to use those last fruits of the season.  If you want a crispy pastry, prick each square several times with a fork before arranging the plums. I like puffy, crispy flakiness so I just leave them. For guests, a little “real” whipped cream on the side or a small scoop of very good vanilla ice cream is wonderful.

Pear baked in honey laced with butter.  I had to start with the basics for this one.  And I'm so glad I did!   Bosc pears are an aristocratic fruit.  A ripe Bosc pear has a sweet,somewhat spicy refined taste and is buttery smooth on your tongue. They are firm and more densely textured than other pears so hold their shape beautifully when cooked.    Their shape is elongated and elegant.  They can be distinquished by their unique soft cinnamon bronzy  skin.  Bosc  (pronounced “Bawsk”) pears are available beginning in September through the winter months until mid-spring.  Of French origin, most Bosc pears purchased in the US are grown in Washington and Oregon.  In Europe, they are known as Kaiser Alexander Pears. This was the first time I ever baked a pear.  Big mistake – waiting this long ... [Read More]

Honey Banana Bread

Honey Banana Bread with nuts - A Pinch of Joy

Honey Banana Bread landed on the menu unexpectedly.  Wheels set the quart jar of thick amber liquid on the kitchen counter.   Organic honey sold by the grandfather of a fellow employee.  A quart jar!!!!  That is more than we’ve used in the last five years total!!!    A quick taste showed that it had a pleasant flavor, but not at all like the honey in the little squeezy bear.  Well – love me a challenge (and Wheels is really good at bringing them on!)    I hit the search engines. According to honey.com, the website of the National Honey Board, “The 60,000 or so bees in a beehive may collectively travel as much as 55,000 miles and visit more than two million flowers to gather enough nectar to make just a pound of honey!   The color and flavor of honey differ depending on the bees’ nectar ...
