Chopped Autumn Salad with Honey and Apple Cider Dressing

Buzz Savories Barbecue Pork Meatballs

Family and Friends, Feast and Football all come together in autumn. I plan simple and easy menus so that I may join the circles of fun and good times instead of flitting about last minute in the kitchen.

The Autumn Salad shouts crisp days and mellow flavors –  Honey Crisp apples, crisp bacon, crunchy pecans, diced red onion, dried cranberries and a bright sweet/sour dressing speak cool days and ruby red leaves drifting under the oak trees.

I prepare the dressing ahead 2 days prior to our feast and combine all components except the apples on the day before the feast day.  Ten or 15 minutes before serving, chop the apples – no need to peel them. Toss all in a large bowl, add the dressing then chop the salad and serve.

The Autumn Salad is earning 5 stars in my salad retinue because the dressing tastes clean and bright and light and fruity. The chopping is easy and fun to do (can’t go wrong).  In every bite I taste the variety of ingredients and over-the-top flavors with a major lift from the extraordinary Autumn Salad dressing.

Buzz Savories Barbecue Pork Meatballs

Buzz Savories Barbecue Pork Meatballs

 I’m thinking of all of us sports fans, knowing September launches our favorite season! We are planning tailgating parties, back yard barbecues and/ or picnics to simply enjoy our mild temperatures and clear skies. Barbecue Pork Meatballs are my new favorite recipe for my favorite season. The Spicy Beer Mustard glaze also jumped to a favorite of mine for its ease of preparation and primarily for its light and saucy flavor.

Pork Meat Balls come together with ease. Make small, medium or large, and oven roast or grill. Serve with macaroni and cheese, potatoes (any way you like them), or simply on the antipasto board. The perfectly balanced sweet to tangy barbecue sauce also makes a delicious dip.

Hot Links Chow Chow

Buzz Savories Hot Links Chow Chow

Summer without Hot Dogs is like celebrating the 4th of July without fireworks.

Even so, I admit I’m bored with the traditional Hot Dog primarily because the common toppings – ketchup and squirt of yellow mustard lack flavor and zing.

Now I have news! Since Chow Chow appeared among my recipe finds, I’m crazy about hot dogs again. I’m also happy with the easy process of making spicy, crunchy, luscious Chow Chow.

Chow Chow is a southern relish and probably derived from recipes brought by the immigrants arriving during the early 1900’s. They planted gardens, and their Old World methods of preserving/pickeling vegetables were difficult to replicate with New World vegetables.

How did ChowChow get its name? Historians tell us that ChowChow may be a version of the French word for cabbage “chou.” One of chow-chow’s main ingredients is cabbage.

ChowChow relish is typically made from a mixture of chopped vegetables, which may include:

  • Green tomatoes
  • Cabbage
  • Cucumber
  • Bell peppers
  • Onions
  • Carrots
  • Sometimes, hot peppers or other flavorings

Buzz Savories offers this spicy, tasty recipe to you now. Give it a try, and notice even though the process to draw the moisture out of the vegetables is 10-24 hours, the shredding, mixing, and preparing the pickling blend is easy. Chow Chow keeps refrigerated for several weeks.

Hot Dogs on the barbecue with ChowChow on the bun inspires summer fun!

A Frozen Delight – Strawberry and Honey Sorbet

A Frozen Delight - Strawberry and Honey Sorbet

I associate June with generous boxes of fresh strawberries. I see 16 oz. containers of rich ruby red strawberries wafting their delicate perfume and waiting for me to pick up one, then two containers, and finally four packs. I have a plan for these beauties – Buzz Savories local honey and fresh strawberry sorbet. So simple to make – 4 ingredients and a blender!

Fresh strawberries and Buzz Savories local honey belong together. Their delicate flavors blend in enchanting ways. Adding fresh lemon juice brightens the mixture. Honey and fruit sorbets serve nicely because honey in the mix keeps the sorbet from crystalizing and hard to spoon.

Three reasons to like and make sorbets:

  1. Fruit is sweetened with Buzz Savories Local Honey
  2. Sorbets are designed to highlight fruit so no fat, such as; cream or milk in the recipe
  3. Simple process to make, and an ice cream freezer unnecessary

Grilled Chicken in a Spicy Beer Mustard and Molasses Barbecue

Grilled Chicken in a Spicy Beer Mustard and Molasses Barbecue

I recently experimented with a new and interesting recipe for grilled chicken. I like grilled chicken although my recipes were looking and tasting routine, and my interest in grilling chicken was waning. We tested the Molasses and Mustard Barbecued Chicken recipe with the grill chef, my son, and guests (well, family). Seeing and hearing their reaction upon tasting/eating this barbecue, I’m convinced that the recipe is “head-over-heels” (my mother’s phrase) above the other chicken recipes I have collected over time. The combination of ingredients in the marinade and the glaze (if you choose to make it) provides a delicious accent to the flavor of chicken, and its burnished copper color with a traditional char makes it a photographers dream.

One chicken cut into quarters made plentiful servings for four people in my thinking, and Wrong!! All four of us ate our quarter and asked for more! One guest even said, “What about leftovers for tomorrow?” 

The Grilled Chicken flavored with the Spicy Beer Mustard and molasses marinade and accented again with a Honey Mustard Glaze places it in the top tier of all chicken recipes in my repertoire, and I invite you to make it one of your favorites too.

Marinate a chicken, or 2 or 3 in this mustard, molasses and soy sauce marinade, roast on the grill, and your guests will say, "Where has this grill recipe been hiding?"

Prep Time 1 hour

Equipment

  • 1 grill

What You'll Need:

Marinade

  • ¾ cup molasses molasses
  • 2 Tb Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard
  • 2 Tb soy sauce
  • ½ cup beer, wine (any you may have) water
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • 2 Tb freshly ground pepper
  • 1 Tb Worchestershire sauce
  • 4 green onions or 1 shallot minced
  • 2 4 lb chickens, backbones removed and chickens cut in quarters

Sweet Mustard Barbecue Sauce

  • 1 cup Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard or Honey Muxstard
  • cup molasses
  • ¼ cup strong brewed coffee
  • 2 Tb Buzz Savories Local honey
  • 1 Tb molasses
  • 2 tsp. Worchestershire Sauce
  • 1 tsp. Tobasco or hot sauce of your choice

How To Prepare:

Marinade

  • In a large bowl with a lid or cover, sir together molasses, oil, 1/2 cup liquid (wine, beer, water), mustard, soy sauce, pepper, Worhestershire sauce and onion/shllot.
  • Add chicken quarters and turn to coat. Refrigerate for minimum 30 minutes and ideally over night. Turn and reposition the chicken occasionally during the marinating process.

SWEET MUSTARD BARBECUE SAUCE

  • In a medium saucepan, combine ingredients and bring to a simmer. Stir well and remove from heat. The barbecue sauce is optional.

GRILLING

  • Light a grill and when coals are glowing separate them to the side and place the chicken quarters in the middle of the grill so the heat is indirect. Roast for approximately 45 minutes until chicken reaches 160 Degrees F. The char adds a pleasant smoky flavor to this delicious chicken.
  • This chicken on the grill also may be roasted above direct heat. Check your instant thermometer so that when it reachers 160, the chicken is cooked through.
  • Set aside 1/2 cup of the marinade for the table. Brush the remaining sauce on the chicken during the last 20-25 minutes of its roasting time for a tasty char on the chicken.
  • The sauce is optional. In my experience the marinade provides plenty of richness to the chicken flav
