Apricot-Almond Jam

By voloshyna, July 14, 2014

Apricot-Almond Jam

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients in a large stock pot. Gently mush the apricots with a wooden spoon, to release the juice. Leave for 1 hour. Turn the heat to medium low, and stirring every five minutes or so, let the apricots cook. Once mixture reaches a rolling boil, continue to boil it for 30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking. Remove from heat and fill jars, leaving 1/4 head space. Wipe rims clean and put the canning lids in place. I usually do not process the jars in a boiling water, because my jam is always gone in about a month. But if you want you can process you jars in boiling water for 10 minutes, just to be sure they will store fine.

Perfectly Smooth Humus with Hint of Basil Pesto

Perfectly Smooth Humus with Hint of Basil Pesto

Ingredients:

Instructions:

If you want your hummus really smooth, spend a few minutes and remove the skin of each chickpea. In my opinion this is absolutely necessary for an extra smooth hummus. So open can of chickpeas, drain liquid and remove the skins from every chickpea. Then rinse well with water. In a food processor combine tahini and lemon juice; process for a 1 minute. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl then turn on and process for 30 seconds. Thanks to this procedure you humus will be as creamy as possible. Add the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin and the salt to whipped tahini and lemon juice. Process for 30 seconds, scrape sides and bottom of bowl then process another 30 seconds. Add half of the chickpeas and pesto, process for 1 minute. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl, add remaining chickpeas and process for 1 to 2 minutes or until thick and smooth. The hummus will be probably too thick, so you'll need to add a little bit of water. With the food processor turned on, slowly add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water until the consistency is perfect. Voila! Hummus is ready. Transfer the hummus into a serving bowl, top with a 1-2 tablespoons of pesto sauce and drizzle with an olive oil.

Here comes my favorite Indian dish of all times. I’m crazy about Chicken Tikka Masala, no wonder I order it every time I’m at the Indian restaurant! Unfortunately my husband isn’t an Indian food fan, so I cook it at home not so often.
