Razzleberry Pie Recipe Recipe

If a fruity pie is your answer to a delicious dessert, then you will LOVE this one! The following recipe, we used four different types of berries. Use what you can find, either frozen or fresh - there is no right or wrong answer. If you like your pie more tart than others, play with the amount of lemon juice. Add more of it if you like. Decrease the amount of sugar. Baking is only as fun as you make it.

This pie recipe will serve eight people. In the real world, more like six.
This is what you will need:
1 cup/200g of sugar
1/4 cup/21g of all-purpose flour
3 cups/420g berries (preferably a mixture of raspberry, blackberry, blueberry and strawberry)
1 large apple, cored, peeled and grated
1/2 teaspoon/2ml lemon juice
pie crust for a 9 inch/23c, pie, bottom and top
3 tablespoons/14g unsalted butter
sugar for sprinkling

Preheat your oven to 350F/180C/Gas 4

In a large mixing bowl, mix your sugar and flour together. Add berries and apple as well as the lemon juice and gently toss until your fruit is well coated. If using frozen fruit, make sure it is thawed before mixing.

Pour your fruit mixture into your pie shell and dot with your butter. Cover your pie with pastry, trim the pie edges and crimp. Be sure and cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Top with sugar if you desire.

Bake for 50-65 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the juice of the fruit is bubbling through the slits in the top crust. Cool on a wire rack.

Meaning of Memorial Day: Why do we celebrate?

BY JULIA GLUM Memorial Day may be the unofficial start of summer, but it's so much more than an excuse for a three-day weekend. It's a U.S. holiday with a lot of history and lasting significance. Held annually on the last Monday of May, Memorial Day dates back to the Civil War. Who exactly created it and where are unclear, but legend has it that the tradition began in 1864. That's when three women from Boalsburg, Pennsylvania, put flowers on the graves of loved ones who had died in the war, including a young man killed in the Battle of Gettysburg. By 1865, according to the Library of Congress, people in states such as South Carolina and Mississippi were participating in unofficial ceremonies that preceded Memorial Day. But Waterloo, New York, claims to be the birthplace of the holiday, given that it held what Nelson Rockefeller would later call the "first, formal, complete, well-planned, village-wide observance of a day entirely dedicated to honoring the wa

Fish Not As Carbon Friendly As Previously Thought

Darin Graham - Reporter, The Climate Question Eating fish could be worse for the climate than previously thought, according to a recent scientific study . Previous research indicated that seafood has a smaller carbon footprint than other animal proteins, because fishing doesn't require farmland or the care of livestock. But a new study claims that catching fish using heavy nets that drag across the seabed - known as bottom trawling - emits about the same amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) globally as the aviation industry. Seabed sediments that act as huge carbon sinks are churned up during this kind of trawling - and this results in CO2 being released. "The ocean is full of little creatures that we call the plankton, microscopic algae and microscopic shrimp and so forth," says Dr Sala, explorer-in-residence at National Geographic and leader of the study published in Nature. Speaking to the BBC World Service's, The Climate Question , he says "most of these creatu

Baklava Recipe

A staple in most Greek and Middle Eastern restaurants and bakeries. There is no mention of it until after 1299, which is the beginning of the Ottoman Empire. Filo/a dough originated in what is now Turkey, but it is the Greeks that refined it into the paper thin dough we know today. In Greece, baklava is supposed to be made with 33 dough layers, referring to the years of Christ's life. Any recipe we have ever found used no more than 24 (which is what is found in the pre-made 1 pound/450g packages. This recipe is a combination of two of our favourites.

Thanksgiving Gravy aka Eat Your Veggies Gravy

A healthier and even tastier version of a classic gravy and be made for Beef, Chicken, Pork, and even Turkey. There is no need to add any extra fat. Instead of slathering your chicken or turkey with butter lightly brush with a little oil and prepare as usual. Same goes with the beef or pork. Cut up a couple of carrots, celery stalks and slice an onion. Rest your poultry or meat on top and roast. When the meat is done remove from the roasting pan and transfer to a cutting board. Loosely cover with some aluminum foil. While the meat is resting push the vegetables through a food mill/mouley or strainer. Separate the excess fat from the cooking liquids. Add the liquids and vegetables to a blender and whiz away. private chefs and event catering Palm Beach + West Palm Beach + Boca Raton + Miami Beach + Fort Lauderdale info@yadachef.com | 954-367-YADA (9232) www.yadachef.com south florida catering and personal chefs

Half Brined Polish Pickles

We love pickles and are often experimenting with different tastes and flavours. Recently we made some a new batch using no vinegar. This method is brining them. The longer they sit the more tangy they get. We also had some left over liquid from a previous batch with had vinegar. We combined 2 different methods to create a 1/2 brined 1/2 pickled cucumber. DELICIOUS! We added fresh horseradish root because we found in Poland it is a common practice. We had no grape leaves, so we substituted fresh bay leaves. Both will keep the cucumbers crisp and crunchy. The brine will get cloudy. Makes 10-16 half pickles 1 pound/500g small pickling pickles (5-6)* 1 cloves crushed garlic 1 thumb sized piece of fresh peeled horseradish root 1 teaspoon/5g yellow mustard seed Small handful fresh dill or 1 tablespoon/15ml dried dill weed 4 cups/1 liter water 1/4 cup/60ml white vinegar 1/4 cup/59ml/55g coarse sea salt OR 2 1/2 Tablespoons/37ml/41g table salt handful fresh dill or 3 tablespoons/45ml

Taco Days!

National Soft Taco Day October 3 / National Taco Day October 4 The word taco started in the 18th century silver mines in Mexico. Back then, a taco was just some paper wrapped around gunpowder. Taco Bell has tried to enter the Mexican market twice, failing both times, even after branding their food “American” food. Food Finds about Tacos A taco is a traditional Mexican dish composed of a corn or wheat tortilla folded or rolled around a filling. A taco can be made with a variety of fillings, including beef, chicken, seafood, vegetables and cheese, allowing for great versatility and variety. A taco is generally eaten without utensils and is often accompanied by garnishes such as salsa, avocado or guacamole, cilantro, tomatoes, minced meat, onions and lettuce. According to the Real Academia Española, publisher of Diccionario de la Lengua Española, the word taco describes a typical Mexican dish of a maize tortilla folded around food (“Tortilla de maíz enrollada con algún

Eat Your Vegetables - They Are Good For You

There's no question that eating three to five servings of fruits and vegetables daily will improve your health. But more and more experts are saying healthy eat ing is not only about how many servings you eat. It's about the variety you pick, too. Eat a diet of solely white foods, and you'll miss key nutrients your body needs—even if your palette includes cauliflower, onions, and mushrooms. Adding a multivitamin doesn't cut it either. "People will say, 'I'm taking a multivitamin, so I don't really need to eat these,' " says Karin Hosenfeld, RD, LD, a dietitian in private practice in Dallas, but she says scientists don't know whether whole foods may offer undiscovered benefits that vitamins don't. "We do know for sure that if you don't eat your fruits and vegetables, you're not getting your fiber, and that's [helping keep] your blood sugar down." Every one of your meals doesn't have to be multicolored
