Orange-Honey Butter

oranges pictures images

Saturday afternoon we were glued to the T.V.

We were laughing.

We were amazed!

We were watching a new episode of "Worst Cooks in America."

We kept saying things like,
  • "Are you serious?"
  • "You've got to be kidding me . . .my cherubs can cook better than that!"
  • "Are you serious?"
  • "Did he say steam the fish in the dishwasher?"
  • "These people can't be for real!"
If you've seen the show, you know that the famous chef has a team of terrible cooks.  The premise -- teach them to cook!

One chef taught his team to make orange-honey butter.

It sounded great!

So we made it!

It's great!

I think it will be delicious on:
  • an English muffin
  • a baked sweet potato
  • cranberry scones
  • roasted carrots
  • steamed brussel sprouts
  • pumpkin pancakes
  • a dollop of it on grilled salmon
  • gingerbread waffles
  • a smear of it on grilled chicken
  • blueberry muffins
It does take a bit of effort, like in a real small way.

But it's not hard.

I think you'll be delighted!

Orange-Honey Butter

1 1/2 cups fresh squeezed orange juice
1 TBSP honey
1/2 cup butter, room temperature

Squeeze the oranges, using a strainer to make sure there are no seeds.

Place juice in a sauce pan over medium heat.

Allow to boil until it reduces by half.

Add in 1 TBSP honey, stirring to incorporate.

Continue reducing until you have approximately 3 TBSP of "sauce."

Place butter in a bowl.  Pour the sauce over the butter.

Allow the sauce to cool just a bit.

Using a mixer, whip the sauce and butter together until well mixed.

Pour into a ramekin or small mason jar and refrigerated.

Enjoy!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
