Choc-embouche

December 31, 2012 allansuddaby 2 Comments

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

-Tennyson

Happy New Year from Lisa and Allan.

A croquembouche made with chocolate instead of caramel... a chocembouche.

Ptitsin Plum w/ blistered green pepper and feta. Ptitsin Plum w/ blistered green pepper and feta. We've tried preserving Ptitsin plums about a dozen different ways (drying, freezing, jamming, canning, juicing, fermenting...) all with varying levels of disappointment. They have to be fresh. They have such a crazy-strong peach-like aroma it has been fun to map out sympathetic flavours to add some variety to our enjoyment. One obvious partner: cured pork, especially prosciutto. Actually these plums play well with lots of salty preparations, like feta. Mild dairy like yogurt and ice cream is also a no-brainer. Some less obvious matches we have stumbled upon: herbs and "green" flavours like certain olive and canola oils, and green peppers. . . . #ptitsin #plum #yegfruit #yegfood
