Oven Baked Corned Beef with a Honey Mustard Glaze

Oven Baked Corned Beef with a Honey Mustard Glaze

The “vagaries of March” in Nebraska can include snow, below-zero temperatures, and wind. On the other hand, March can also hold the sunny days of early spring and the first hints of new growth. I count on St. Patrick’s Day celebrations to put a positive spin on the month. First, St. Patrick’s celebrates “the Green” and though I may not yet see it on a leafy branch, I wear the green Shamrock on St. Patrick’s Day. 

Corned beef starts as a piece of beef brisket that has been cured in rock salt and spices. Interestingly, although corned beef and cabbage is considered a traditional St. Patrick’s Day feast around the world, it didn’t originate in Ireland. Instead, historians think it was popularized by Irish immigrants to the U.S. because it was less expensive than the real Irish tradition of beef and potatoes, often found in Irish Stew.

For a simple dinner or party, I like to serve the famous Corned Beef Slider recipe sent to me by Buzz Savories’ Web Designer, Kim Woods. I make this annually on St. Pat’s Day and serve it happily because my guests and family enjoy it and it’s a remembrance of the day. My advice: people love these so make plenty.

Corned Beef Sliders require corned beef, and this year I’m roasting mine with a Buzz Savories Honey Mustard glaze for several reasons. Roasting brings out a subtle and delectable beefy flavor you don’t get from boiling, it slices paper thin so it’s easy to stack in the buns for sliders, and the Buzz Savories Honey Mustard glaze adds a touch of sweet with heat.

You can serve Corned Beef Sliders with steamed or sauteed cabbage or, for a smaller group or party, cabbage charred in a hot oven on your sheet pan.  It’s all good!

Homemade Honey Buns

Homemade Honey Buns

Homemade Honey Buns

Are you ready to celebrate February? As months go, February is often disrespected and underappreciated, which is why we’ve decided to declare it Buzz Savories Honey Month! Wholesome for your body, sweet on the tongue and honey, of course, is a harbinger of spring.

We’re kicking off Buzz Savories Honey Month with Homemade Honey Buns. These soft, sweet treats will be a universal hit and the process of making them is almost as much fun as eating them. 

The dough is made with warm milk, active dry yeast honey, eggs and melted butter, that, as it rises, permeates the kitchen with the inviting aroma of honey. This is an easy recipe for a novice baker, with three classic steps: creating the dough, adding the filling and rolling the dough, and, if you wish, finishing it with a glaze. It’s not something I always do. Your choice.

Homemade Honey Buns

Recently, due to commitments on my time, I made the dough one day, then covered it tightly and placed it in the refrigerator overnight. The following day I set the bowl in a toasty, warm corner of my kitchen and within two hours it had warmed to room temperature and risen so that I could see the indent of my finger when pressed into the dough. Let’s just say refrigeration overnight is not required for Honey Bun dough but does it no harm.

Then the fun begins! Roll out the dough with a rolling pin or empty wine bottle, spread the filling over the dough, roll the dough up into a tube shape and cut 12 equal slices. Bake 20 or 25 minutes and you’re ready to serve a warm and tasty treat to celebrate the Valentine Month with family and friends.

Prep Time 3 hours
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 12

What You'll Need:

Dough

  • 1 cup warm whole milk warm the milk to temperature of your fingers
  • 2 ¼ tsp yeast (1 package)
  • ⅓ cup Buzz Savories artisanal honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. salt

Filling

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup Buzz Savories artisanal honey
  • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted

Glaze

  • 3 Tbs. Buzz Savories artisanal honey
  • 2 tsp. water (as needed to spread the powdered sugar and honey mixture)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

How To Prepare:

Dough

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast and honey. Let sit for 5 minutes until the mixture forms bubbles on top indicating the yeast is working.
  • Add the eggs and melted butter and stir until well mixed.
  • In a separate bowl combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until well mixed then knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
    At this juncture in the recipe, you may choose to refrigerate the dough after the mixing and kneading process. Cover tightly and refrigerate for 24 hours if desired. Take out of the refrigerator and allow the dough to return to room temperature and double in size - approximately 2 hours.

Filling

  • Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F. and grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan.
  • In a small bowl combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and honey. Mix.
  • Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Brush with melted butter over the dough.
  • With the flat side of a knife or spatula spread the filling over the dough.
  • Roll the dough tightly, starting from the long side and cut into 12 equal slices.
  • Place the buns in the prepared baking pan and let them rise for another 20 minutes.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Glaze

  • In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, honey and water to make the glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm buns.
  • Serve warm accompanied with drink of choice or dessert served with fruit. These buns are best served warm and fresh, but they can also be stored in an airtight container for 2 days.

Pear and Honey Ricotta Tart

Pear and Honey Ricotta Tart

Pear and Honey Ricotta Tart

I’ve always thought of Valentine’s Day as a particularly elegant holiday, less about cards and candy hearts and red ribbon and more about stylish, graceful desserts served on your best china with a cup of tea. This recipe satisfies that desire and takes advantage of peak season for an underappreciated fruit.

Pears are considered a late-fall, early-winter fruit, which means pear season is…right now! Although there are many varieties of pear, for our Pear and Honey Ricotta Tart with Walnuts, we like easy-to-find Bartlett pears, known for their sweet, juicy flesh and delicate pear flavor.

I’ll be honest, I’m only recently learning to work with puff pastry, but I’m finding it quite a pleasure. If you’re unfamiliar with it, buy it frozen and thaw a single sheet overnight in the refrigerator. When you’re ready, place the sheet of pastry on a pastry cloth or board and cut it in half lengthwise so that each piece measures 10” x 5”.  The pastry pieces may require a bit of shaping with a rolling pin to extend them to the desired size. With that done, the scoring process is simply marking a half-inch border around each piece of puff pastry.

Pear and Honey Ricotta Tart

The remainder of the directions follow logically and involve preparing the pear filling with ricotta cheese and a dollop of Buzz Savories Artisanal Honey, folding and sealing the pastry, and then placing walnut pieces atop the tarts after they’ve been in the oven for ten minutes or so.

I’ve found the Pear and Honey Ricotta Tart to be a real crowd pleaser that looks as elegant as it tastes.  If you wish, you can serve it with a small scoop of ice cream, although I most often serve it directly from the oven accompanied by a cup of tea.

The Golden Pear and Honey Tart is the perfect dessert for any occasion. The pears add a subtle flavor and the ricotta and honey make it both creamy and sweet.
Course Breakfast, Dessert
Cuisine American, Italian
Keyword Buzz Savories Honey,, Easy Cooking, healthy, tine-saving
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Servings 6 10

What You'll Need:

  • 2 ripe golden pears
  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese find ricotta cheese in refrigerator section near cottage cheese - ricotta is from Italy and is made from whey so is light and creamy.
  • 1 small lemon
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. granulated sugar and more for dusting
  • 3 tsp. Buzz Savories artisanal honey
  • 1 Tb. unsalted butter
  • ½ cup walnut pieces (or more if you wish)

How To Prepare:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 Degrees.
  • Zest about 1 tsp. from the lemon, then juice about 1 tsp. and set aside.
  • Stir together ricotta, lemon juice, cinnamon, sugar and 2 tsp. of honey in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Peel and then cut each pear into thin slices, about 1/4 inch discarding core and stem. Sprinkle pears with lemon juice to prevent them from discoloring.
  • Cut a standard puff pastry sheet in half lengthwise (you should have two 10" by 5" pieces. You may need to roll out the pastry pieces to extend them to desired length and width).
  • Score each pastry sheet with a ½ inch border, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Divide and spread the ricotta mix between the 2 puff pastry sheets. Layer the pear slices on top of ricotta. Finally, dot with dabs of butter.
  • Gently wet the borders of each tart with your fingers and generously coat the borders with a dusting of granulated sugar.
  • Bake the tarts for about 10 minutes, and remove from oven to sprinkle walnut pieces over the top of each tart.
  • Bake for another 10-15 minutes until the tarts are golden and puffed.
  • Drip the remaining tsp. of honey over the tarts. Finish with a sprinkle of lemon zest.

Salmon with Lemon, Caper and Spicy Beer Mustard Sauce

Salmon with Lemon, Caper and Spicy Beer Mustard Sauce

Salmon with Lemon and Spicy Beer Mustard Sauce

May we live with ease in 2023 and may we cook and savor fine food.

Regular readers know that I am always a champion of simplicity and that tasty meals with minimal preparation get gold stars from me. To start the new year, we’re recommending pairing salmon with a light, delicious mustard sauce using Buzz Savories’ Spicy Beer Mustard. The fresh lemon, salty caper and mustard play well with skillet-roasted salmon fillets, and the artisanal nature and whole-grain texture of the Buzz Savories mustard gives it a flavor and quality that can’t be matched with a simple Dijon.

You can mix the sauce in just a few minutes as the salmon sautés away in its pan and prepare a delightful light dinner in just a few minutes. I like to pair it with Avocado and Grapefruit Salad and include a French baguette to help soak up any remaining sauce. Plus, if you save any salmon and sauce for lunch the next day, you’ll still find the flavors tangy, bright and rich.

Salmon with Lemon, Caper and Spicy Beer Mustard Sauce

If you’re new to pairing fish with mustard, try the Salmon with Lemon and Honey Mustard Sauce. You’ll find it a flavorful start to the new year.

Course Main Course
Cuisine American
Keyword Easy Cooking, flavor rich, healthy, Spicy Beer Mustard, light,
Prep Time 12 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Servings 4

Equipment

  • heavy bottomed skillet

What You'll Need:

  • 4 5-6 oz salmon fillets - skinless preferred
  • 1 ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • 2 Tb olive oil
  • 4 green onion white parts, sliced thin
  • ⅓ cup chicken broth and more to thin sauce as needed
  • 3 Tb freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 Tb Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard
  • 2 Tb capers, drained
  • 2 Tb unsalted butter

How To Prepare:

  • Heat a large heavy bottom skillet (your cast iron skillet?) over medium-high heat. Dry the salmon fillets well with paper towel and season each filet evenly with 1 tsp. salt or more depending on size of the fillets.
  • Add the oil to the skillet and heat an additional 30 seconds. Place the fillets on the skillet, flesh side down and cook undisturbed until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Carefully flip the fillets and cook an additional few minutes or until internal temp. of fillets measures 125 Degrees for medium rare. Insert the thermometer in thickest section of the fillet, and 120 Degrees for salmon cooked rare.
  • Lift salmon out of skillet and place on a serving platter or plate.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat and add ½ Tb olive oil, ½ tsp salt, and the sliced green onions. Stir and cook until onions smell fragrant and look wilted. Add chicken broth, lemon juice and capers. Simmer for 4 minutes to reduce the sauce. Whisk in butter and mustard until combined. Spoon the sauce over the salmon and serve warm.

Notes

I like salmon with fruit, and a pear and avocado salad compliment the subtle flavors of the roasted salmon - see salad dressing recipe for a grapefruit/avocado salad among the recipes on buzzsavoriesllc.com website. Add a crusty French Baguette to dip in the full-of-flavor sauce.
Make plenty and save leftovers for plates of cold salmon served next day because the flavor deepens in the refrigerator, and is not to be missed.

Pigs in Blankets and Spicy Mustard Dipping Sauce

Holidays mean parties and I believe they always have. Today, December 2022, I am reminiscing about the 1970’s and good times with friends as we  celebrated a new love, a new job, friends, a weekend – any reason served us. A great tradition at those parties was Pigs in a Blanket appetizers with a spicy mustard dipping sauce. The flavorful, meaty sausage is an ideal complement to the crisp bread wrapping provided by the commercial refrigerated crescent rolls. 

For this edition, we updated the mustard dipping sauce recipe with Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard so you can offer guests a taste that is both thoroughly modern and with a rich history. Prepare your PIBs the day before and wrap them in plastic wrap until they are ready to bake. That way you’ll get the benefit of their delicious smell as they come out of the oven. We merely suggest that you make plenty because they’re still a popular appetizer at a variety of parties.

20-Minute Honey Lace Cookies

20-Minute Honey Lace Cookies

It’s December, and therefore the season of shopping, wrapping, decorating, mailing and hurrying is upon me. I barely have time for my “need-to-do” list just as my “want-to-do” and “nice-to-do” lists sprout wings!

I did find a solution for a favorite “want-to-do” — baking pretty Christmas cookies. I fell in love with Martha Stewart’s Lace Cookies at first sight for these reasons:

  1. They look simple yet elegant and the warm caramel color and enticing aroma evoke sweet memories.
  2. There are only five ingredients. You read correctly, just honey, butter, light brown sugar, flour and a pinch of salt.  All available right now on my pantry shelf, so no shopping! 
  3. I mixed and baked a batch in less than 20 minutes.
  4. The clean-up is easy because the recipe only asks for one small pan to melt the butter, brown sugar and honey, a bowl to stir in the flour and salt, and two parchment-lined baking sheets.

Of course, I especially appreciate the flavor because with Buzz Savories single-source, artisanal honey, I can taste the flowers of summer as I smell the sweetness of the honey in the warm cookie. It’s the kind of cookie that makes holiday entertaining easy.

So, just a bit of advice extra from me: acquire a local honey to experience the full opulence of these cookies. And buy your honey here.

Buzz Savories Mustard and Honey Pretzels

What  part of all Holiday traditions and expectations do you most enjoy? 

My favorite moments are when my family and friends and neighbors stop by to share Holiday greetings.   I keep cheeses, dips, and crudites in the refrigerator so I can offer light and delicious appetizers for grazing while we visit.

The Buzz Savories Mustard and Honey flavored pretzels take a starring role on the table.

Their savory and sweet flavors belong with coffee and cookies and/or beer and sausages.  I often serve it with a favorite sour cream and onion dip or piled in a basket for easy munching.    I make these savory pretzels starting on Thanksgiving and several batches later, we are grazing on them during the Christmas Holiday and all important – they are fun to make and require little clean-up. 

Stock your pantry now with  Buzz Savories mustards and honey to put some ease into hosting the Holidays!

Crunchy Parmesan-Crusted Pork Chops

Crunchy Parmesan-Crusted Pork Chops

Crunchy Parmesan-Crusted Pork Chops

Although I’m a fan of pork chops because they are a relatively lean cut of meat, there’s always a chance they’ll come out dry, tough and tasteless. A chewy pork chop is often a telltale sign of overcooking, no matter how you cook them, and undercooked pork is never the best idea. That’s why we suggest using an instant-read thermometer and cooking chops to an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

 

If your goal is well-cooked, fork-tender, flavorful pork chops here are a few tips and our latest favorite recipe.

 

Crunchy Parmesan-Crusted Pork Chops uses the natural ingredients in Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard to reduce moisture loss through the cooking process and help produce a rich, juicy, full-bodied flavor. To help insure a moist finished product, it’s a good idea to brine the meat, even for as little as half an hour, let it come to room temperature before cooking, and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Take a little care, and these may be the best pork chops you ever tried.

Bee prepared for winter

In November in the apiary, we add protective gear to our hives to reduce the impact of ice, snow, and cold winds while the bees cluster tightly inside to stay warm. The worker bees vibrate their bodies to generate heat. The queen is near the center of the cluster where the temperature can reach 90-100 degrees F. and the cluster expands or contracts depending on the outside temperatures.

It gets cold in Nebraska — well below freezing — but with a little help from us, we expect to find happy, healthy bees in the spring.

Sausages with Sauerkraut, Apples and Mustard

Sheet-Pan Sausages with Sauerkraut, Apples and Mustard

Sheet-Pan Sausages with Sauerkraut, Apples and Mustard

I realize that I am one of the lucky ones who can pick apples straight from the tree instead of having to sort through bins of them in the grocery store. If you have a family — or even if you don’t — picking apples is a fun activity for family and friends of all ages and finding an apple orchard near where you live is worth the effort.

On a golden day in mid-October, I picked Jonagold apples growing in The Apple Orchard north of Kearney, NE. When I thought we had “enough,” we brought them home and did a little update on a borrowed recipe to make an Apple, Sausage and Sauerkraut Sheetpan Dinner, featuring Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard. 

The mélange of roasted sausages, fruit, and vegetables tastes to me like autumn and offers the rich color palette of a day in October.  To top off the flavor, we added a cup of apple cider to the mix, then served our creation with crusty bread and a rich glass of red wine.

The beekeeping life

Here is a picture of me standing in my beekeeper shed. Behind me you can see stacks of what we call wooden ware — hive boxes, lids, frames and bottom boards, as well as our medicines, beeswax, smoker, bee suit and more items than you would imagine necessary for managing an apiary.  

The task for the beekeeper (me) for the winter months is scraping and cleaning the wax and propolis (glue made by bees) from the tops and sides of the hive boxes and frames.  Bees and beekeepers appreciate neat and clean wooden ware in the apiary.  And there’s only one way to get it.

Sheet-Pan Sausages with Sauerkraut, Apples and Mustard

A sheet-pan dinner based on Alsatian choucroute garnie, a dish of sauerkraut and various cuts of pork seasoned with mustard. We are featuring apples to welcome the apple season. Pork sausages are nestled into vegetables and apples, and the whole thing gets a generous cup of cider before it goes in the oven.
