I’m going to show you how to make “Liquid Gold” today otherwise known as beef tallow. If you’re the type of person who has ever saved your leftover bacon grease (or at least remember your mom and grandma doing that) and know how much flavor that adds when you cook with it – you’re going…

Pumpkin Butter

October 19, 2016 by Dana Leave a Comment

Last fall my friend Ami, sent me a jar of pumpkin butter from Trader Joes’.  Apparently she didn’t think I’d actually go to the Trader Joe’s that’s less than a block away from my bus stop and buy myself a jar after hearing her rave about it.  That and she’s just really nice.  It was…
