syrup

Oct 14, 2009

After the post about Annesley and the syrup debacle, I have had some requests for our favorite syrup recipes, so here you go:

Fruit Juice Syrup

2 C. fruit juice
2 TB. arrowroot or cornstarch
1/3 C. honey
1 TB. lemon juice

Mix everything together and heat until syrup thickens to desired consistency.

Deluxe Fruit Topping

3 C. fresh or frozen fruit
1/2 C. honey
1 TB. lemon juice

Heat frozen fruit till you can mask it and then blend in other ingredients. If using fresh fruit, just blend in the ingredients and mash. You can even do it in the blender if you would like.

Honey Maple Syrup

1 C. water
1 C. honey
1/2 C. pure maple syrup or 2 tsp. maple flavor

Heat all ingredients until hot, but do not boil.

Hope you enjoy these as much as we do. They are all taken from Erleen Tilton’s book Enjoy Nature’s Harvest, which is a GOLD mine of fabulous recipes…truly a must have for the whole-foods kitchen.

p.s. I am on a posting spree lately…I really need to be on a cleaning spree and get this house in order…but it is so much fun to share my thoughts with the world, I just can’t stop. I have gobs of ideas of things I want to write about and not nearly enough time to do it!

My post for tomorrow is all ready to go and it is fabulous…I can’t wait to share it with ya’ll. Stay tuned till 12:01 and then it will be here, ready for you to delight in…at least, I will be delighting in it!
