Honey Rhubarb Crisp

Honey Rhubarb Crisp

Rhubarb delights in its abundance. Leaves like baskets and stems pink and thick and juicy. Takes both hands to pull the crisp stem from the plant starting with the largest around the circumference of the generous rhubarb plant. Trim the leaves and douse the stem then chop. I value rhubarb’s gift of potassium and vitamin C, vitamin k, and fiber. Then magnify the rhubarb flavor with a recipe for rhubarb crisp with Buzz Savories artisanal honey as a sweetener. The pairing of an artisanal honey and rhubarb was made in heaven.  Each compliments the flavor of the other and not too sweet nor sticky.

I’m thinking you will make Buzz Savories’ Rhubarb and Honey Crisp recipe often during the rhubarb season because of its simply delicious flavor and ease of cooking and clean-up. Serve it for breakfast, lunch, snack in the afternoon and dessert. I like it straight up and plain. No need for cream or ice cream. Rhubarb and artisanal honey hold their own.

Buzz Savories Potato Salad

Buzz Savories Potato Salad

Buzz Savories Potato Salad

I like potatoes. There’s an earthy quality that comes from growing underground, and they’re surprisingly healthful, filled with vitamin C, fiber, protein, potassium, magnesium and other good things.

I  enjoy making and eating our Buzz Savories potato salad because for me,  this recipe sets the stage for Spring.

Four (4) ingredients, and the potato in the Buzz Savories Potato  Salad climbs to star status.  I attribute the flavor blast to the addition of Buzz Savories’ Spicy Beer Mustard potato salad dressing.   Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard tastes spicy and rich and  with an all natural savory flavor.  Check out this easy recipe for Buzz Savories Potato Salad.

Memphis Mustard Coleslaw

Memphis Mustard Coleslaw

Memphis Mustard Coleslaw

I have been thinking about cabbage as a vegetable that doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Cabbage is remarkably hearty, prefers cooler weather and can be preserved for months, especially in dishes such as sauerkraut, or for a week or more in a dish like this Memphis Mustard Coleslaw.  

Cabbage has been cultivated for longer than almost any other vegetable and is thought to have arisen in Asia. It’s a great source of Vitamin C , clinically proven to lower the risk of cancer and it’s in the same family (Brassicaceae) as another favorite plant of ours — mustard.

You can tell the difference between fresh, young cabbages and old, not-so-nice ones by their color, texture and smell. I was looking at cabbages in a market bin recently and I knew some were fresh and newly picked because their color is a mint green, their feel is firm and hard, and there’s nothing to note when I sniff them. Old cabbages have often have shriveled leaves that have been cut back exposing a telltale white interior and have a strong cabbage-y smell when sniffed.

When you meet a mint-green, hard, tight cabbage, grab it and take it home with you, then make this coleslaw. Based on vinegar and Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard, it’s an ideal accompaniment for barbecue and many other summer dishes.

The South is known for its coleslaw, and this recipe is a great example of one with a sweet-savory taste and no mayonnaise, so it’s perfect for the Mother’s Day picnic.

Holiday Ham with Riesling and Mustard Glaze

Holiday Ham

Holiday Ham with Riesling and Mustard Glaze

I like ham. I like the flavors that become embedded during the long, slow curing process, and I like the savory chew. Above these, I like the variety of choices available for leftovers. A roasted ham is like a blank canvas to an artist. It’s a place to draw on one’s skills and imagination to produce a sumptuous breakfast casserole, a crispy grilled ham and cheese sandwich, a soup of ham and beans, a salad of ground ham and boiled eggs on crackers or toast. The Buzz Savories 2023 recipe for Holiday Ham with a Riesling and Mustard Glaze is the ideal place to start for a splendid feast and all the meals that come after.

In this recipe, the ham roasts over simmering water so it is baked with steam, producing moist and super-tender slices. The glaze brushed on in the final 30 minutes of cooking complements the ham and raises the bar for flavor. Only six ingredients make up the glaze — Riesling wine, butter, shallots or green onions, thyme, Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard and Artisanal Honey. Riesling is a white wine with a sweet taste, and to be honest, any white that leans in that direction will work in this recipe. If wine is not among your choices, apple cider is also a fine substitute.

Holiday Ham

The glaze creates a complex flavor that lingers in the mouth, so you may wish to do as I do and serve the glaze in a bowl for those who want more of the smoky, sweet, salty, fruity flavor. As a meal that was put down months earlier during the previous harvest, ham is the perfect centerpiece for a spring celebration.

Oven Baked Corned Beef with a Honey Mustard Glaze

corned beef

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.

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.

  • 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.

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.

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.
