Fig Jam
Sweet and Salty Grilled Almonds
This is a recipe that you make in a thrice, preferably on the gas grill, then have just slightly warm and ready to serve to guests the minute they walk in the door. I make them when the grill is heated, but before I cook dinner…it’s a perfect solution for an appetizer, to serve alongside rose in the summer, champagne any time of year! Or, as I did recently, glasses of chilled Pastis, to ward off the intense heat of a mid-summer evening.
ASTUCE: you’ll need to supervise the almonds towards the end, as they can burn quickly. And when you strew the sugar don’t worry – what doesn’t stick to the almonds will burn off the grill.
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: mesh gas grill, wooden spatula
APPLE-ROSEMARY TART
APRICOTS AND CREAM SHORTCAKE
LEMON MERINGUE PIE
It is neither traditional, nor even that American. But it almost always finds its way into our Thanksgiving supper. And it’s good for every other meal too!
