Mediterranean Spice Mix

Crusty rolls absorb just the right amount of dressing from the slaw to add flavour without becoming soggy. Beef, chicken, fish or shrimp can easily be substituted for the pork.
This strawberry jam – and its fruity variations – contains less sugar but has all the fresh flavour of regular jam. It is more softly set than jams that contain added pectin, but the old-fashioned taste is perfect.
Celebrate this summer's reunion with a cake displaying your family tree. To get it to the picnic, cover it with a cake dome, or place toothpicks at 2-inch (5 cm) intervals around top edge and drape with plastic wrap, then transport it in a cooler.
A bit time-consuming, but worth the effort, these cheese-stuffed and fried peppers are a Mexican staple. Fresh poblano peppers are mildly hot and darker green with more tapered tips than sweet green peppers. If they are unavailable or if you want a milder version, use small sweet red or yellow peppers.
This speedy dish is ready in the time it takes to cook the pasta.
This salad is simple to assemble for a quick family meal.
This mix of fruit preserved in rum is a fabulous way to enjoy summer fruits right through the winter spooned over ice cream or pancakes. Begin preparing the mixture when strawberries are in season and add seasonal fruit right into fall. Each addition should be about 1 lb (500 g) of prepared fruit. To have the Rumtopf ready by December, make the last addition by the first week of October.
When you're 131 years old, there has to be a pretty special dish to match the celebration. Here it is — fresh strawberries fanned over a tangy rhubarb sauce in a buttery shortbread pat-in pastry. Extra maple leaves set off Canada's favourite summer combo of rhubarb and berries. Better than a birthday cake any day!
