If you can't find any blackberries, use raspberries instead. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a homey and comforting dessert.
Don't forgo the vanilla bean. It's the perfect accent for this vibrant tangy-sweet dessert.
The cool springs and summers of the Yukon result in an abundance of rhubarb. Combined with wild fireweed honey, rhubarb shines in this comfort-dessert classic. Frozen rhubarb also works well; run it under cold water to thaw completely, and drain well before using.
Crystallized ginger complements sweet- tart roasted plums. Look for it in the baking aisle of the supermarket.
Winter squash is not only for savoury dishes. Here, butternut squash becomes sweet and caramelized when roasted, giving it a silkier texture and richer flavour than pumpkin.
Don't worry about leftovers; scones freeze well and are perfect for breakfast. Devonshire cream (a clotted cream from England) is very thick and rich and does not require whipping. Look for small jars in the dairy section of the grocery store.
This is just like chicken pot pie – but easier, faster and made in a skillet. If your nonstick pan has a plastic handle, wrap it in a double layer of foil to make it ovenproof.
Few things compare to a steaming mug of hot cocoa on a cold day, but these adorable cookie cups are even better! Complete with a whipped topping and edible stir sticks, they're the perfect accompaniment to a tall glass of milk or, if you're feeling indulgent, a mug of hot chocolate!
These treats are quick and easy to make and decorate. So keep the kids as busy as a beaver with an afternoon of fun.
