We’ve learned the true beauty of cooking lies in the incredible diversity of the people who cook, and in the incredible variety of the food they cook. Those years have also taught us for all of our differences, for the tremendous variety of what we cook, people who cook have something in common. They care enough to make the lives of those around them better. The research shows that people who share dinner together at the kitchen table go on to share a brighter future. A brighter future made possible by people with the spirit to build it one meal at a time. It is this spirit we celebrate, this spirit we hope to spread, this spirit that makes all who cook ONE. Through our pages we hope to share the greater family of human kindness that we’ve found all cooks belong to. Come along and join us. Be ONE. Ah, Thanksgiving, the day of cooks. Thanksgiving is the only holiday where the whole thing can take place within the embrace of your kitchen. It’s the day of the year our kitchen comes closest to overflowing. I made a promise to Jeri after our marriage to happily combine our two families together for Thanksgiving at our house. The promise was we would make enough of everything to send everyone home with as many leftovers as if they had cooked Thanksgiving dinner themselves. So even though we are only cooking for about 18, I do like to cook three turkeys. Well, maybe two and a half. I cook the breast separately for the third and use the rest to make stock for my gravy (see One for the Road p. 62). Three is just the right number of turkeys for this catalog as we are featuring three great seasonings for turkey. The very traditional Poultry Seasoning that is the perfect blend of herbs for turkey, stuffing and gravy. The traditional since 1975 to the Penzey family’s Thanksgiving turkey, Bicentennial Rub—a colonial style blend of great flavor and color that to our family is Thanksgiving. And the not so traditional, but exciting and bursting with flavor Bangkok Blend to bring a sense of variety to your holiday table. Pick one, or with three birds try them all. Your guests will be glad you did. What’s new this time is that we are introducing an exciting new gift concept for the coming holiday season. We call it the Mini, and even though it fits in your hand and costs right next to nothing, the flavors it packs are beyond imagination. Our amazing Garlic, incredible Freshly Ground Pepper, the brand new Penzeys Cinnamon, and the always delicious, always free from salt—but you would never know it—Mural of Flavor. These are four jars that define the best in flavor; four jars that define the Penzeys experience. This is a gift that will both instantly, and dramatically, improve the cooking of anyone you give it to, while at the same time remarkably appearing small enough that no one feels awkward accepting it. Great limited time introductory price. Buy a stack, hand them out freely. В And enjoy this Thanksgiving. At some point make sure you take a moment at the table to sit back, look up, and enjoy all that your efforts have brought. Yes, the convenience and cost savings of being able to make good, tasty treats in your home whenever you want is a big part of what cooking is all about, but there really is more. Look around the table, see the people in your life, see the joy in them being together. Watch as the gravy disappears. I have found that each time you cook life gets better, richer, more magical. Cook one time and you will get thanks. Cook for a lifetime and you will have so much to give thanks for. Ah, Thanksgiving, the day of cooks.

A good rule of thumb is to buy a one year’s supply of herbs or ground spices, and a one to two year supply of whole spices. The government’s guideline for freshness dating is four years for whole spices and two years for ground. Some people say six months is the longest spices should be stored, but most spices are harvested only once a year, so it does not make sense to discard them every six months. On the other hand, two years is too long to store finely powdered spices. Each spice contains hundreds of flavor components. It is the quantity and balance of these components that determines the quality of the spice. These flavor components will dissipate at different rates. A top quality spice may be better at two years old than a low quality spice at two months. When in doubt about a spice, just smell it. If it smells strong and spicy, use it. If not, toss it. How should I store them? Spices must be stored properly to maintain strong, fresh flavor. Heat, light, moisture and air all speed the loss of flavor and color. Glass or barrier plastic containers (such as those we use at Penzeys) are very good. DO NOT store your spices near a heat source: on top of the stove, dishwasher, refrigerator or microwave, or near the sink or a heating vent. The best way to avoid light is to put the spices inside a cupboard or a drawer. If an open spice rack is being used, place it out of direct sunlight. Some folks say that all spices should be stored in the refrigerator or the freezer. Whole, crushed and ground chili peppers (including paprika, as well as sesame seed and poppy seed) will stay fresh and colorful longer in cool storage, especially in the Summer months. Other than vanilla beans and extract, the flavor of spices will not be damaged by cold. The only problem with spices being stored in the fridge is that they tend to be used less (out of sight, out of mind). So we recommend keeping smaller quantities of spices out in the cooking area and larger backup supplies in the refrigerator or freezer.

Arrowroot has long been used in making clear glazes for fruit pies. Because of its superior thickening ability (use half as much as flour) and clear look, arrowroot is excellent for stir-fry sauce. To thicken sauces or gravies: Use 1-2 tsp. (dissolved in a bit of cool water) per cup. Push food to one side of pan. Tip pan for juices to collect on one side and drizzle in arrowroot-water slurry.

Though not as strong as the California variety, they have a natural depth of flavor that the California bay leaves can't hope to match.

The flavor of bay leaves is perfect for adding to roast pork or chicken, pot roast, turkey or ham, use 2-3 leaves and remove before serving. Bay leaves are also perfect for spaghetti sauce and chicken soup, use 2 per quart. A surprising fact is that bay leaves improve the flavor of salt-free dishes with their rich flavor.

PHYLLO TIPS: 1) The most important thing about phyllo dough is that it is very easy to work with when it is fresh, but almost impossible when it is freezer burned and dry, so you need to buy your phyllo in a place where you know the turnover is high. We like Athens brand. Luckily, you can purchase phyllo dough at most large grocery stores. 2) When using phyllo dough, remember it is paper-thin and will start to dry out immediately, so be ready to cook when you open the package, and keep the sheets you aren’t yet using covered with a clean, damp cloth until needed. 3) Unopened packages of phyllo can be stored frozen for about 2 months. Open packages can be stored in the fridge for a few weeks if wrapped back up tightly. Don’t try to re-freeze your phyllo; that is where the trouble starts.

It is a celebration of the harvest. There are usually 15-20 of us. “I just enjoy feeding people,” she adds. “The first time I ever cooked Pork Loin with Herb Crust was for an important client of my husband’s. I always try at least one new recipe for special company meals. Some work, and some don’t. Thankfully, this one did. It is the perfect fall meal and uses many of my favorite dried herbs.” But it doesn’t take a special occasion to get Sharon into the kitchen. “My husband Clive leaves the cooking to me except for a few recipes which he considers his turf. Otherwise, I cook and he cleans up, which suits me just fine,” she chuckles. “My first real cooking experience came while I was in college. I was in my early 20s and very broke. I lived with three roommates, none of whom had any interest in cooking. I struck a deal with them that I would do the shopping and cooking for all of us and in return I wouldn’t have to pay for groceries. I had to learn how to stretch the dollars while still making good tasting food.” See spice Index on page 61 Sharon shares, “This recipe can be made with a regular loin of pork but a rack makes quite an elegant presentation. If you cook a rack, ask the butcher to remove the chine bone so the roast carves easily between the bones. This also works well with lamb.” 1 1 3 11вЃ„2 11вЃ„2 11вЃ„2 11вЃ„2 11вЃ„2 1 3вЃ„4 1вЃ„2 4 2 1 1вЃ„4 loin rack of pork, bone-in (4 lbs. or 4-5 ribs) TB. olive oil large garlic cloves, minced, or 3вЃ„4 tsp.

Cassia cinnamon is native to Southeast Asia, especially southern China and northern Vietnam, and has the strong, spicy-sweet flavor most Americans are familiar with. Vietnamese and China cinnamon are the sweetest and strongest varieties, with Korintje cinnamon having a smooth flavor with less bite. Our cinnamon sticks and Korintje cinnamon both come from the southwest coast of Sumatra in Indonesia. It grows wild on the governmentprotected slopes of Mount Kerinci, where the cinnamon gets its name. We stock the top Korintje A grade, although there are also the lower B and C grades, which are the types of cinnamon usually sold in supermarkets in the U.S. Our very sweet and strong Vietnamese cinnamon comes from the remote north and west regions of Vietnam. The strength of the flavor of spices depends upon the essential oil contentВ—the higher the level, the stronger the flavor. When orders for cinnamon come in, the large sticks are cracked into slightly smaller pieces and packed into burlap bags for shipment. The second type of cinnamon, Ceylon, or "true" cinnamon, has a much different flavor. It is less sweet, with a more complex, citrus flavor. The special flavor of English and Mexican sweets comes from Ceylon cinnamon. We like to recommend Ceylon Cinnamon for baking with fruit—especially in apple pie. Finally, all of the goodness of all our cinnamons...in one jar. Penzeys Cinnamon Now you can have it all. Just the right mix of our four fabulous cinnamons to bring the best of each to everything you bake. Put the shaker right on the table!

Here, everyone is all smiles as two cultures come together. Beth Glick B eth Glick of Sequim, Washington, is known as “the Cake Lady.” “I’ve served Gingersnap Cake at large church dinners for several years, and at gatherings for family and friends. The cake always gets rave reviews—I’ve had many requests for the recipe,” Beth says. “I found this recipe in my GreatAunt Peg’s hand-written recipe book after her death. She was a master cake baker…and I guess I’m carrying on that tradition. She baked cakes for everyone, including the valets who parked cars at the building where she lived. “I learned to cook and bake from her and my paternal grandmother. Both were 100 percent Italian and wonderful cooks. I have fond memories of visiting my grandmother and waking up to fresh bread that she would bake very early in the morning for our breakfast toast. “On Saturday mornings, we would come down to the kitchen to find long strands of homemade pasta hanging over the backs of the kitchen chairs to dry out for Sunday’s dinner. Grandmother rolled her dough by hand, using a dowel.” It’s the same kind of tender loving care that Beth takes when she makes her cakes. Aunt Peg’s Gingersnap Cake This recipe from Beth’s aunt is pretty and very yummy, perfect for a holiday gathering. 21вЃ„4 3вЃ„4 1 1вЃ„2 1вЃ„2 2 1 1вЃ„2 1вЃ„4 3вЃ„4 1вЃ„2 3вЃ„4 2 Topping: 1вЃ„2 1 1вЃ„3 Cups all-purpose flour Cup brown sugar, packed tsp. baking powder tsp. baking soda tsp. salt tsp. PENZEYS CINNAMON tsp. POWDERED GINGER tsp. GROUND NUTMEG or MACE tsp. GROUND CLOVES Cup molasses Cup vegetable oil (Beth uses canola) Cup cool water eggs Cup butter or margarine Cup brown sugar, packed Cup warm tap water Preheat oven to 325В°. Grease and flour a 12-cup fluted tube pan. Take your time and do this well, because tube cakes can be tricky to get out of the pan, and if the pan is fully greased it’s no problem at all. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, soda, salt and SPICES. Blend in the molasses, oil, water and eggs. Beat well. Pour into the pan. Bake at 325В° for 5060 minutes until done. It is done when it doesn’t jiggle and you can see by looking into the cracks it isn’t gooey inside. Remove the cake from the oven and make the TOPPING immediately. Melt the butter or margarine in a medium, microwave-safe bowl on high for 1-11вЃ„2 minutes or in a small pan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and water to make a smooth syrup. With the hot cake still in the pan, deeply prick the surface with a thin knife or bamboo skewer about every inch around. Pour the hot syrup over the cake. “Roll” the pan from side to side to be sure the top of the cake is coated (Beth saves a small amount of the glaze to brush on the cake where it didn’t coat the outside after she turns it out onto the serving plate, usually right on the top and in the center). Cool the cake in the pan for about 15-20 minutes, then turn out onto a serving plate. Don’t cool too long or the glaze will stick to the cake and pan.

Remove from the heat; stir in the butter or margarine, lemon zest, lemon juice and food coloring, if using. The sauce can be made ahead of time and gently reheated on low for 5 minutes.

Surrounded by family, Faye Kerns celebrates her granddaughter’s high school graduation. Faye Kerns I t’s thanks to my husband Quentin that I got interested in cooking,” confides Faye Kerns of Sierra Madre, California. “He would eat ANYTHING! I kid you not.” She recalls, “One time I made something so terrible, the kids and I ended up eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. When Quentin got home, the kids were sitting with their elbows on the table all wideeyed to see what Daddy would do when he tried my new dish. He ate it, but later in private, he asked me never to make it again! “If it hadn’t been for his attitude, I’m not sure I would have enjoyed cooking. He was my biggest encouragement. “My mother didn’t allow anyone in her kitchen when I was a young girl,” adds Faye, “so when Quentin and I married, I muddled through learning to cook. I learned by trial and error. The looks on the kids’ faces told me when something had turned out pretty good. “I do like to experiment,” says Faye. “I wondered what would happen if I added crystallized ginger to my gingersnap cookie recipe.

Gerald Pearson A college history class led to a love of Indian food for Gerald Pearson of Muscatine, Iowa. “In 1960 I was a senior at Cal Tech taking a course in the history of India and Pakistan,” Gerry writes. “A guest professor from Berkeley visited our class and then cooked an elaborate Indian dinner for us. “The professor served a variety of dishes, one of which was curry cauliflower. That was the first time I ever liked cauliflower. I already had a taste for hot and spicy Mexican food. The curry was similar yet wonderfully different. The following Monday I bought an Indian cookbook and my cooking took off from there. “For the last 20 years I’ve been significantly modifying recipes. I like to cook in large quantities because I take the time to fiddle around with the ingredients to make a dish the way it should be. I’ll tweak the recipe and make notes for next time. “My wife Sue and I eat Curried Chicken and Vegetables with Turmeric Rice for supper about once a week. It’s strongly spicy, like a very traditional Indian curry, yet it’s not extremely hot, so most folks can enjoy it. I myself eat it with a hot Indian pickle to ramp up the heat.” Curried Chicken and Vegetables This recipe from Gerald is perfect for feeding a crowd. Even better, it’s good for you! 3 21вЃ„2 1вЃ„4 4-6 2 1 1 1 1 1вЃ„4 3 2-3 1 lbs. onions, diced lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed Cup olive oil TB. SWEET CURRY POWDER TB. GROUND CUMIN TB.

Not All Curries Are Hot Cooking With Curry Many people who eat curry for the first time in an Indian restaurant are a bit overwhelmed by trying a dish that is new to them but spiced for a person who already knows and loves the flavor of Indian food. The key to learning to love Indian food yourself is to start at home by adding small amounts of curry powder to foods you already know and like. Sprinkle on chicken or chops before cooking, scramble a bit with eggs, sautГ© with vegetables. Soon the whole family will love the flavors, and you can move on to authentic, but not too spicy, dishes like Balti, Tandoori, SatГ© and Rogan Josh. Finding new, quick ways to prepare the same food for the family dinner isn’t always easy, and Indian cooking is some of the most delicious in the world. Give it a try... Balti Seasoning Baltistan is an ancient region of northernmost Pakistan with influences from Persia, Tibet and China. Balti meals are rich stews cooked in a karahi (small wok), and would be eaten with naan and other Indian breads. The deliciously spicy but not too hot flavor of Balti makes it a great choice for chicken, pork or beef.

This version of the popular red lamb stew comes from the state of Rajasthan, known for its hilly deserts and fierce, yet chivalrous warriors. While Rogan Josh can be made with beef, it is traditional and better made with lamb. This blend is a great example of how a crafty seasoning can change the stronger flavor of lamb (or in India, mutton or goat) into a meal far more delicious than plain old beef. Some blends are interesting–this blend is delicious. For the true Jaipur Palace experience, use the full 2 TB. seasoning per pound, plus extra cayenne and cardamom. Either way you make it, don't plan on leftovers. Brown 2 lb. lamb or beef cubes in 4 TB. oil, remove. Brown 1 large minced onion, add 2-4 TB. Rogan Josh, 1 tsp. salt, stir.

SatГ© makes a great appetizer or a wonderful meal with plain rice or Nasi Goreng (fried rice). Also perfect for Ayam Goreng (fried chicken). SatГ© Seasoning is great for light meals such as boneless/skinless chicken and fish fillets. Sprinkle on heavily, 2-3 tsp. per lb.

Though control of Goa was returned to India in 1961, the four and a half centuries of Portuguese rule left many lasting impressions. Pork Vindaloo is a favorite dish of the Catholics, who make up a third of the population of Goa. The Muslims and Hindus of India prefer Vindaloo lamb or duck. Mix 2-5 TB. spice in 2-5 TB. water, set aside. Heat 2 TB oil, brown 1В№/2 lb. pork cubes, remove, then brown 1 large minced onion. Put browned pork back into pot, add Vindaloo paste, 1 cup water, 6 TB. vinegar and 1 tsp. salt, cook 30 min. Add 46 cups cubed potatoes, cook till tender (45 min. or so).

In America, ginger has been used mainly in baking; it is a must for the holidays—from gingerbread to pumpkin pie to fruit cakes, and it is also increasingly used to flavor a variety of other dishes. Ginger is essential for Asian and Indian dishes where it is used in many ways—from Indian curries, to Japanese marinades, to Chinese stir-fry. A pinch of ginger is a nice boost to the flavor of salt-free dishes, and also a flavorful addition to chicken soup, sauteed vegetables, and roast chicken or pork. For flavorful grilled steak, rub ginger, garlic and black or white pepper on meat, marinate a few hours before cooking. Crystallized Ginger They don’t call it candied ginger for nothing–many of our customers buy it just to eat it piece by piece, because it is just that good. Tender Australian ginger, peeled and cut into В№/4" dices, then preserved using the oldfashioned sugar cure method, which gives a spicy sweet flavor to the ginger. Virtually fiber-free, crystallized ginger is perfect for baking and candy-making. Because the ginger retains its warmth and bite, even with the sugar coating, it is excellent for teriyaki, tuna or chicken salad, plus sweet and sour marinades. 1вЃ„ 4 cup jar (net 1.3 oz.) #58830 $ 3.59 1вЃ„ 2 cup glass jar (net 3.1 oz.) #58856 $ 6.15 4 oz. bag #58843 $ 5.45 8 oz. bag #58885 $ 9.85 1 lb. bag #58814 $ 18.70 Sliced China Ginger Root Dried sliced ginger root pieces stay fresh and flavorful indefinitely, so they will be ready when you are.

Penzeys Freshly Ground Pepper A simple shake brings life to salads, sandwiches, pasta, meat, potatoes, soup and eggs. Cut back on sodium by keeping Penzeys Freshly Ground Pepper right at salt’s side. Reach for the pepper first! The pepper harvest in Sarawak on the island of Borneo is a centuries old event that brings families and friends together to celebrate the culmination of a year of growth and (with luck) good weather. The pepper harvest takes place at the driest time of year, in late June through early July. Harvesting is still done by hand just as it has always been. Determining the peak of ripeness of pepper is a hands-on, visual job. All of the pepper on a vine does not mature at the same rate and the subtle color differences are closely monitored. Some spikes of peppercorns are in a better location on the vine and receive more sunlight and nutrients, so they can be harvested earlier. The harvesters must be ready at all times, as pepper can quickly mature from the dark green berries used to produce black pepper, to the yellow and red berries which are then soaked for white pepper. Creamy white pepper, the type we carry at Penzeys, fetches the highest price for farmers. It also presents a greater challenge. The longer pepper is left to ripen, the higher the potential for heavy rains to wipe out the crop or the hot sun to dry the pepper on the vine. It is the extra care and risks the farmers take that produces the rich, sweet flavor that has made pepper the king of spices for millennia. 1вЃ„ 4 cup jar (net 1.1 oz.) #46338 $ 2.49 1вЃ„ 2 cup glass jar (net 2.4 oz.) #46354 $ 3.89 4 oz. bag #46341 $ 3.29 8 oz. bag #46383 $ 5.49 1 lb. bag #46312 $ 9.90 Spread Joy and Tastiness this Holiday Season Give everyone the gift of deliciousness!

Michael Gallacher Michael Gallacher of Moscow, Pennsylvania, created this Turkey Gumbo recipe to come home to after a winter day spent cross-country skiing. “It’s great for warming the body,” he says. “I’ve used this particular soup as a starter at several dinner parties my wife Chris and I have had. I generally cut back on the cayenne pepper if I am serving it to guests. It has gone over great and is a real crowd pleaser on a winter night.” Michael enjoys cooking not just for the wonderful warm feeling of sitting down to a hearty meal on a cold night, but for the process of cooking too. “The thing I like best about cooking is the sense of completion,” says Michael, who is an attorney. “My job typically involves moving papers. When I arrive at work, there are files on my desk with lots of paper. When I leave at the end of the day, there are different files on my desk with lots of papers. Rarely do I start something in the morning and complete it by the end of the day. “Cooking allows me to create something from nothing and have a finished product within a relatively short time. I then get to enjoy that finished product and get to watch others enjoy it as well.” Spicy Turkey Gumbo This gumbo is a meal in itself. It is a nice rib-sticking food on any cold fall/winter night, but is especially great made using the leftover Thanksgiving turkey for stock. If you like it a little less hot, cut back on the cayenne. It also makes a great starter for a dinner party. Just be sure to give small portions or your guests won’t eat anything else. 6 6 1 2 1вЃ„2 1вЃ„2 2 1 1вЃ„2 1вЃ„2 1вЃ„2 1 1вЃ„4 4 1вЃ„2 TB. butter TB. flour TB. olive oil andouille sausages, cubed (kielbasa/ smoked Polish sausage, is a decent substitute) medium bell pepper, chopped medium onion, chopped stalks celery, chopped TB.

(4 cups) turkey stock with turkey meat (see NOTE) lb. small, shelled shrimp large BAY LEAVES salt to taste Cup cooked rice or Veggie Rice (go to www.penzeys.com for this recipe) In a medium pot, melt the butter over low heat. Add the flour to make a paste or roux. Cover and cook over very low heat for 11вЃ„2 hours, stirring every 10-15 minutes. This may seem like a long time, but it turns a beautiful dark brown and gives the gumbo great color and flavor. It doesn’t take much effort; just don’t forget it’s there! In a separate pan, heat the olive oil over high heat. Add the sausage and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the bell pepper, onion and celery, along with the THYME, CUMIN, CAYENNE, and PEPPER and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly. When the roux is ready, slowly stir in the turkey stock. Add the contents of the other pot. Add the shrimp. Stir in the BAY LEAVES and salt. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes. Add the rice just before serving. NOTE: Michael usually uses Thanksgiving leftovers to make a nice, meat-filled, rich stock. Just leave some meat on the bones, cover with water, and let simmer for several hours. Strain, save some meat—or add some already sliced meat that was leftover from the dinner, and you are ready to make gumbo!

Whole Special Extra BoldВ® Indian Black Peppercorns Special Extra BoldВ® Indian Black Peppercorns are the world’s best—only ten pounds out of every ton of pepper makes the special grade. If you are new to good pepper, you might want to stick with the regular Tellicherry, as they are a better deal, but if you really enjoy pepper you will appreciate the difference. Great on everything, especially beef, chicken, chops, fish, salads, vegetables, soups, and omelets. 1вЃ„4 cup jar (net 1.0 oz.) #56836 $ 2.79 1вЃ„2 cup glass jar (net 2.1 oz.) #56852 $ 4.59 4 oz. bag #56849 $ 4.79 8 oz. bag #56881 $ 8.55 1 lb. bag #56810 $ 16.10 White Peppercorns White Peppercorns are regarded by many parts of the world as the finest flavored, most preferred pepper, rich and sophisticated. White peppercorns start out the same as black peppercorns, but then are allowed to ripen more fully on the vine, to produce a very large berry with a looser outer shell. This black outer shell is then removed in one of two traditional ways: the Muntok peppercorns are soaked in water until the black shell loosens, while the Sarawak peppercorns are held under a constantly flowing stream of spring water, yielding a whiter color, and an extra clean product. Both white peppercorns have the traditional rich, winey, somewhat hot flavor that is nice used in soup, on grilled meat or poultry, in light-colored dishes or mixed with black peppercorns for a broader range of flavor. Many Asian dishes rely heavily on the flavor of white pepper, and it is preferred for cooking the foods of Southeast Asia, and Southern and Eastern Europe. Beef Stew From Greece Faye Kerns writes, “We’re not Greek, but we all like ethnic foods. This stew has always been a popular dish. I’ve even made it for company.” For another delicious recipe from Faye, turn to page 16.

No other spice adds the greatest amount of flavor to the greatest number of dishes. Now that modern production and transportation methods have made pepper affordable enough for all to enjoy, it is more popular than ever, outselling all other spices, and consumption continues to rise. If you are trying to decide which peppercorn to buy, we suggest you start with Tellicherry Peppercorns. All of our peppercorns have great flavor, but the Tellicherry Peppercorn is the top grade of Indian pepper. Malabar Indian peppercorns are regarded as having the finest flavor of the mass-produced varieties. A step above Malabar is Tellicherry—a larger and more mature peppercorn, possessing a more developed flavor.

The ONLY peppermills worthy of the World’s Best Peppercorns! We designed our peppermills to be fully adjustable—from shaker grind to coarse. To fill the peppermill and adjust the grind, unscrew the nut on top of the mill, lift off the wood cap, fill with peppercorns, then place the top back on. The tighter the top is screwed on, the finer the ground pepper will be. If the top is screwed halfway down, there will be a large opening in the grinding mechanism, allowing big chunks of pepper to fall through. If the top is screwed down tightly, there will be a small opening for fine pepper. Our salt shakers have larger holes in the top and are designed to be used with coarse style flake salt. Fine table salts may pour too quickly out of the top. *All peppermills come filled with Tellicherry black peppercorns and salt shakers with Kosher style flake salt.

Black, white and green peppercorns all start as the same berry, but are picked at different times and dried in different ways, allowing each to develop its own distinctive flavor. Four Peppercorn and European peppercorns give robust flavor to meat, poultry, salads and vegetables. Lemon-Pepper and Shallot-Pepper are popular, versatile, ground pepper blends, while Mignonette Pepper is a coarse blend mixed with coriander, that is great for longer cooking times of large roasts or the higher temperatures of grilling and broiling. European Style Peppercorns Half and half blend of Tellicherry black peppercorns and Sarawak white peppercorns. In Northern Europe, white and black pepper enjoy equal popularity. The familiar, robust black pepper flavor combined with the deep, winey, complex white pepper, is perfect ground on potato or noodle dishes.

He’s a great helper! Jacki Keck The kitchen was a wonderful kaleidoscope of seasonal sights and smells during the holidays when extended family came to visit,” recalls Jacki Keck of Williston, North Dakota. “Some 30-40 people gathered for dinner at my grandparents’ house.” She adds, “Mom is 94 now, but I’ll never forget the ditties she recited while I watched and learned by her side as she worked in the kitchen. “A stint in the Army sent my first husband and me to the East coast, where we met friends from other countries who stimulated my interest in trying new dishes. While living in Arlington, Virginia, I came across a delicious dish and developed this recipe for Allegheny Cabbage Rolls. “On-the-job-training and вЂ�survival cooking’ were themes of my second marriage as I became an instant mother to Jim’s son and daughter. We added three boys, two of them twins, and they all grew up to enjoy cooking. “When just the three boys were home, we rotated responsibilities for Thanksgiving dinner. One learned to make the turkey with stuffing, one created the side dishes and the third was in charge of dessert. The best pumpkin pie I’ve ever eaten was made by one of the twins вЂ�from scratch.’ “Now Jim and I are the only ones left at home. We still have occasional family gatherings—and I love to hear people say вЂ�something smells wonderful’ as they walk in the door!” See spice Index on page 61 CINNAMON, salt and PEPPER. Mash with your hands until all the ingredients are blended. Butter a large, rectangular casserole dish, at least 9”x13”.

Living in Michigan, we haven’t had much good press lately. My husband Steve, who is from the metro Detroit area, gets very defensive upon seeing/hearing all the negativity in the news. Detroit and this whole state are so much more than the car companies—we love it here! And we love visiting the Penzeys store in Detroit. When we married almost two years ago, Steve brought Penzeys spices into my life. I was a little skeptical looking at all those jars with their “plain” labels, but it didn’t take long to win me over. I’m now experimenting with curry and other spices that my bland taste buds weren’t even aware of before I met Steve. When we moved into a new house recently, we needed to make room for our spices—and now they are a showpiece in our kitchen. People ask all the time about them and where we get them. So thank you for your kind words regarding Michigan and know that you have plenty of customers here! –Becky T.K. Thank you so much every month for your catalog. Not only do I love the coupon for the free spice, but I have tried many of the reader recipes—and they have been a huge success. We especially loved the Grilled Veggie Pasta seasoned with Pasta Sprinkle in the Harvest catalog. My husband is on a very strict, nosalt diet and couldn’t get enough of this dish! Keep the catalog, coupons and recipes coming! –Christine P. Dear Bill Penzey— Finally! I was able to visit your store in Jacksonville, Florida. I live in Gainesville, but hubby needed to go to Jacksonville, about 85 miles away, which is how I got to see your store. The layout was beautiful! I wanted to see everything, which I did, but hurriedly. Wish! Wish! We’d get a store here in Gainesville. Love your spices and your wonderful vanilla! –Ginnie D. Dear Penzeys, A friend of mine introduced me to Penzeys Spices years ago and I’m one of the lucky cooks who benefit from using these quality spices. The photo shows my mother, Julia, 97 years old, from Kingston, Massachusetts, showing her greatgranddaughter Julia, age 6, how to make some of her specialty dishes. Happiness is when we’re able to enjoy memorable family gatherings surrounded with delicious home cooking. I like to tell people, “Don’t settle for less than the best in your recipes—spice it up with Penzeys!” –Rosemarie P. We four sisters, the “Slater girls,” have all come home to roost in Florida again after many years of living in different parts of the country. Even though many miles separated us through the years, we always made a point of getting together at least once a year for a “Girls’ Weekend”…usually at the beach or in the mountains and even once on a two-week jaunt to Ireland. Of course, one of the main topics of discussion was sharing recipes of newly found favorites. It was Sally who introduced the rest of us to the Penzeys Spice catalog many years ago. We love exploring the catalog for new ideas, recipes and, of course, for gifts to give to the cooks in our lives. –Nancy L. Keep those Cards and Letters Coming!

For a standard thickness, use 8 parts mustard by volume to 7 parts liquid. Mustard is very hot when first mixed, and then mellows with age. Refrigeration nearly stops the mellowing process. For hot mustard, store at room temperature for 4 weeks, then move to refrigerator (or try 8 weeks for mild). An easy starter recipe is 1 cup regular mustard powder (4 oz. by weight), 3 fl. oz. vinegar, 3 fl. oz. cool water, 1вЃ„2 tsp. salt and 1 TB. honey. Mix until smooth, then pack in glass jars. For Chinese restaurant-style mustard, mix 3 TB Oriental powder with 3 TB water. Let stand 10 minutes for heat and flavor to develop.

Brown mustard seed is smaller and hotter, traditional for Asian and African cooking. In India, whole brown seeds are fried in oil until a popping sound is heard. This gives the seeds a nutty flavor, important in many vegetarian dishes. Try whole mustard seeds in barbecue sauce and rubs, or marinades for grilling. The seeds become very soft, giving great flavor and an attractive appearance. 1вЃ„4 cup jar (net 1.4 oz.) #55334 $ 2.19 1вЃ„ 2 cup glass jar (net 2.9 oz.) #55350 $ 3.35 4 oz. bag #55347 $ 1.89 8 oz. bag #55389 $ 2.79 1 lb. bag #55318 $ 4.60 Brown Canadian Mustard Seed 1вЃ„4 cup jar (net 1.3 oz.) #55534 $ 2.15 1вЃ„ 2 cup glass jar (net 2.5 oz.) #55550 $ 3.25 4 oz. bag #55547 $ 1.89 8 oz. bag #55589 $ 2.79 1 lb. bag #55518 $ 4.60 1вЃ„4 cup jar (net .9 oz.) #45531 $ 2.09 1вЃ„ 2 cup glass jar (net 1.9 oz.) #45557 $ 3.09 4 oz. bag #45544 $ 1.89 8 oz. bag #45586 $ 2.79 1 lb. bag #45515 $ 4.60 Saffron is the stigma of the fall flowering crocus. Peek inside most any flower and you will see three threadlike filaments. These are stigma— but only in the saffron crocus are these stigma worth thousands of dollars per pound. Saffron is so valuable because it is a very labor intensive crop; only 5-7 pounds of saffron can be produced from each acre of land. This makes saffron the most expensive spice by weight. However, saffron isn't the most expensive by use because a little goes a long way. A single gram of saffron easily translates into golden color and fragrant flavor in 10 recipes of saffron rice, several batches of bread, or a couple of big pots of paella. What could be better than two types of Northwoods Seasoning? Northwoods Fire has the same great flavor as the original, with the added kick of smoky ground Chipotle and hot Cayenne red pepper.

Also excellent for fresh vegetable dip, or sprinkled on baked chicken or fish, 1-2 tsp. per lb. To make 1 cup dressing, mix 1 TB. seasoning in 1 TB. water, let stand five minutes, then whisk with В№/2 cup buttermilk and В№/2 cup mayonnaise. For a lower calorie version use low-fat mayonnaise, or up the proportion of buttermilk, which will make the dressing thinner, but equally tasty. Ranch dressing should be refrigerated, check the freshness date on the buttermilk carton, and write it on the dressing bottle. Hand-mixed from: salt, bell peppers, garlic, onion, sugar, black pepper, parsley, thyme and basil. 1вЃ„ 4 cup jar (net 1.1 oz.) #26037 $ 2.89 1вЃ„ 2 cup glass jar (net 2.5 oz.) #26053 $ 4.79 4 oz. bag #26040 $ 4.45 8 oz. bag #26082 $ 7.89 1 lb. bag #26011 $ 14.80 Making your own salad dressing is easy and inexpensive, and the finished product is far better than those sold at the supermarket. Each dressing can be tailored to your individual tastes and the fat and calorie content are yours to control. Feel free to experiment—make the Italian dressing as a vinaigrette or a creamy style, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or a handful of chopped chives, whatever you’d like. These dressings are also great for fresh vegetable or chip dip or as flavorful sandwich spreads; just use the creamy styles, such as Buttermilk Ranch, Creamy Peppercorn or Green Goddess. All of the dressings are delicious on pasta or potato salad and make nice marinades for chicken or fish. Dressings can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator—so they can be ready when your salad is, without having to be mixed each time. Green Goddess Salt-free. An old-fashioned, classical style salad dressing, somewhat like a mild, sweet, herb-filled creamy Italian, heavy on the basil and dill. This base is not only nice for green salads, it is great for fresh vegetable dip or as a light, refreshing alternative to tartar sauce on baked or fried fish. This base is very good without salt, but salt can be added to taste (try В№/2 tsp. per cup), or a squeeze of lemon juice could be added in place of salt. To make one cup of dressing, mix 1 rounded TB. GREEN GODDESS in 2 TB. water, let stand 5 minutes. Whisk with 2вЃ„3 - 3вЃ„4 cup regular or low-fat mayonnaise and 1 TB. vinegar. This dressing will be thick (nice for dip), thin with 1-2 TB. water if desired. Store in the refrigerator. Hand-mixed from: green onion, sugar, basil, celery flakes, minced garlic and dill weed.

They could make homemade cookies when they were preschool age. Kyle, 11, once brought cookies to preschool and when the teacher complimented him he said, вЂ�I’ll get you the recipe.’ The teacher got a real kick out of that. “I learned to cook as a young teen,” Heather adds. “My mother worked, so I made dinner. I grew up on a farm and we grew lots of vegetables. I have always loved the idea of creating something delicious out of ordinary ingredients. My mother’s motto was вЂ�if you can read, you can cook,’ which was very encouraging.” Heather often turns to Penzeys spices when she is cooking for her family. “Perry’s Pasta came about Grilled Chicken Rub This great rub from Heather Perry proves that salad dressing isn’t just for salads.

Thanksgiving Dinner 38 Penzeys spices | Holiday HOLIDAY Turkey and Potatoes A traditional holiday dinner, roast turkey is also nice for any family get-together or Sunday party. This is a simple, bountiful meal that everyone loves–and there will be leftovers, too. For a quick and easy dinner, use a turkey breast or half a turkey. For a large family meal, get the big bird so there will be plenty of leftovers, even after everyone has stuffed themselves. Turkey 1 2-4 2-4 whole fresh turkey (12-16 lbs.) TB. vegetable oil or melted butter TB. BICENTENNIAL RUB or POULTRY SEASONING “Butterflying” the turkey is a wonderful way to have the turkey cook faster and be evenly browned and cooked all at once—no fearing the breasts will dry out before the thighs are done. To butterfly the bird, use a large, heavy bread knife (our choice) or really heavy-duty kitchen shears. While the bird is still in the sink after washing, turn it over and saw away at the back along both sides of the spine from the bottom up, removing the whole backbone. Use the backbone for stock. It takes some effort but is well worth it! Once the backbone is removed, turn the turkey over onto a roasting pan, and push down with all your weight on the breastbone. The turkey will suddenly go flat with the thigh and leg portion sticking out— see photo. Season and roast as usual at 325В°, and you can figure the bird will be fully cooked in one hour less than if you had left it whole. If you prefer to roast the bird whole, the directions are to the right. Creamy Mashed Potatoes Use the smaller amount of the ingredients listed for the average family. Use the larger amount for 8 people, or for a potato and gravy loving family like the Penzeys. 3-5 lbs. russet or baking potatoes 1 вЃ„2-1 tsp. GRANULATED GARLIC POWDER 1вЃ„2-1 tsp.

Wash turkey, pat dry. Rub with the vegetable oil or melted butter, season heavily with BICENTENNIAL RUB or POULTRY SEASONING. Place turkey in a large roasting pan with a rack, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to cook. Potatoes: Peel and quarter potatoes. Place in a kettle of water large enough to cover them and refrigerate. If the raw potatoes have been refrigerated overnight, change the water in the morning. Cooking Turkey: A turkey takes roughly 15 minutes per pound to roast. 20 minutes per pound works for a breast or half turkey; a 12 lb. bird will take about 3 hours. These are approximate guidelines, and many people will cook a bird longer. We tend to find turkey always cooks faster than we think, so we rely on a watchful eye and a meat thermometer–which should read 160-170Лљ inserted in the thick thigh meat. The nice thing about this meal is that the potatoes will hold nicely if the turkey needs an extra bit of time, and the turkey will stay warm if it is done first. If the turkey is done before everything else, just remove it from the oven, cover it with a clean dish towel, and let it rest. It should rest before carving for 10 minutes anyway, and it will still be warm for up to 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375В°. Uncover the turkey and place in the oven. Roast for 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 325В°. Baste the turkey every 15 minutes or so. Potatoes: About 1 hour before dinner, fill a heavy 4 quart pot 2вЃ„3 full with water, add 1 tsp. salt, and bring to a rolling boil (this will take 10-15 minutes). Add the potatoes. Bring the potatoes back to a slow boil over medium-high heat. Once the potatoes are boiling, they will be done in 15-20 minutes (fairly tender when pierced with a fork). Drain the potatoes (reserve the water for the gravy) and return to the pot. Cover and return to the stove with the heat off for a few minutes so the potatoes will dry. Add GARLIC, WHITE PEPPER, sour cream, milk, and salt, then mash with a hand masher or whip with a beater, depending on the texture you prefer (a mixer will create fine, pureed potatoes, hand-mashing will yield chunkier, denser potatoes). When mashed, cover the potatoes tightly and leave on the back burner of the stove until ready to serve (it is warm there even with the burner turned off ). Remove the turkey from the oven when the thermometer has popped out, the juices run clear when pierced in the thigh with a knife, or a meat thermometer reads 160Лљ. Place the turkey on a platter and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving, which is just the amount of time needed to prepare gravy. For our favorite gravy recipe, see page 62.

Caraway Carrots Roasted carrots are really great—the problem is they take a long time to cook, and eating hard half-cooked carrots or having the rest of the dinner get overcooked waiting on the carrots aren’t great options. This method turns out tasty roast carrots in 45 minutes or so. 1 lb. carrots 2 TB. butter 1 tsp. CARAWAY SEED 1вЃ„2 tsp. DILL SEED 1вЃ„4 tsp. GRANULATED GARLIC 2-3 TB. RASPBERRY ENLIGHTENMENT Preheat oven to 350В°. If you are cooking something else too, like a roast, the carrots are easy; they can cook at pretty much any temperature. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Peel the carrots, remove both ends, and cut into 2-3” pieces. If the carrots are really thick, cut them in half lengthwise too. Cook the carrots in the boiling water for 7-10 minutes, depending on how big and thick the chunks are. They should not be soft, they should be about half cooked. Drain. Place the butter in a glass pie plate and melt it in the oven. Add the CARAWAY and DILL SEED to the butter. Partially crush the spices with a mortar and pestle or the back of a heavy spoon first if desired. Mix the spices and butter well, then add the carrots. Toss to coat, drizzle with RASPBERRY ENLIGHTENMENT, and place in the oven. Stir every 15-20 minutes. The carrots should be deliciously glazed and fully cooked but not mushy in about 40 minutes. Try one after half an hour and see how they’re doing. The carrots can be pulled from the oven and covered with foil if they are done before the main dish; they will be happy and warm resting for quite some time before serving.

Dena Martin O ur home is always bursting with friends and family during holiday time,” says Dena Martin of SedroWoolley, Washington. “It’s not unusual for us to have 35 dinner guests for a holiday meal. It takes me a week to prepare our feast and by the time Monday comes back around I’m exhausted!” she confides. “Our вЂ�turkey day’ begins with Cranberry Coffee Cake. I throw a couple in the oven before I begin working on the turkey, and everyone snacks on them throughout the day. “Everyone is really good about helping out and getting everything on the table. Guests bring side dishes, my daughter Christina and a family friend, Bruce, are in charge of the mashed potatoes, my husband carves the turkey and prime rib and then gathers up all the kids, and I’m baking pies the day before from sunup ’til sundown.” Dena smiles as she recalls a treasured memory of her son Jeremy taking a basket of Herb Dinner Rolls outside to guests instead of placing them on the table to be served with dinner. “As you can imagine, things can get very hectic in my kitchen just before we sit down to eat. I don’t always have time to supervise what everyone is doing; fortunately I always make about six batches of rolls, so we had plenty.” You’ll find more delicious recipes from Dena, including her Cranberry Coffee Cake, at www.penzeys.com. 40 Penzeys spices | HOLIDAY Apple-Cranberry Stuffing This stuffing recipe from Dena is a great combination of flavors and textures, perfect for Thanksgiving but easy enough for any weeknight. 1вЃ„4 1 3 3вЃ„4 3вЃ„4 1 8-10 2 1 1вЃ„2 1-2 1вЃ„4 4-6 Cup butter (1вЃ„2 stick) medium onion, chopped stalks celery, sliced Cup chopped apple (2 medium apples) Cup dried cranberries (Craisins), divided Cup sliced almonds, divided Cups dried bread crumbs (2вЃ„3-1 loaf ) tsp. POULTRY SEASONING tsp. MARJORAM tsp. THYME tsp. salt tsp. GROUND WHITE PEPPER Cups chicken broth, warm broth to the mixture, 1 cup at a time. Mix well after each addition. How wet you like your stuffing, how dry the breadcrumbs were to begin with, and weather conditions will determine how much chicken broth you will use. Add the stuffing to the baking dish and sprinkle the remaining sliced almonds and cranberries over the mixture. Spray a piece of foil with cooking spray and cover the baking dish. Bake at 325В° for approximately 45–55 minutes. NOTE: When you are adding the chicken broth to the bread crumb mixture, you want the mixture to be extra wet to ensure a moist stuffing because it will dry out some during the baking process. Prep. time: 15 minutes Preheat oven to 325В°. Butter a 9x13 baking dish Cooking time: 45-55 minutes and set aside. In a large skillet, melt the butter Serves: 8-12 over medium heat.

Add the chicken Herb Dinner Rolls The flavor and texture of freshly baked rolls really can’t be beat, and Dena’s roll recipe is wonderful, even for inexperienced bread bakers. 11вЃ„2 tsp. salt 41вЃ„2-51вЃ„2 Cups bread flour, divided 2 TB. chopped fresh herbs (or 1 TB. dried herbs—see NOTE) 1 Cup milk 1вЃ„4 Cup butter (1вЃ„2 stick) 1вЃ„3 Cup sugar 2 pkgs. dry yeast (not instant) 2 eggs 2 TB. melted butter In a large mixing bowl, combine the salt with 11вЃ„2 cups of the bread flour and the herb mixture; set aside. In a small saucepan, heat the milk, butter and sugar until lukewarm. Remove from the heat and add yeast. Stir and let stand 5 minutes to make sure the yeast is active—it will be foamy and brown. With a mixer at low speed, gradually beat the liquid into the dry ingredients. Turn up to medium speed and beat for 2 minutes, occasionally scraping the bowl. Beat in the eggs and about 1вЃ„2 cup of the bread flour to make a thick batter; continue beating for 2 minutes. Stir in enough bread flour to make a soft dough. The amount of flour needed can vary depending on the heat and humidity of the day. Usually 5 cups is about right. If you are unsure, use 41вЃ„2 cups and add more while you are kneading if the dough is sticky. If you are using a stand mixer, you can continue beating the dough for approximately 5-7 minutes. If not, turn the dough onto a lightly-floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, approximately 10 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball and turn into a large greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, approximately 45–65 minutes. See TIP. Punch down the dough, transfer to a lightlyfloured board and cut in half; cover one half while working with the other. Cut each half into 12 equal pieces and shape into balls. Place about 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 25 minutes. Once you have completed the first sheet of 12 rolls and covered it and moved it to a warm rising place start with the other half. Preheat oven to 400В°. Once the rolls have risen, brush the tops with the melted butter. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. NOTE: Decrease herb amount by half if using dried herbs. Dena’s family’s favorite herb mixture is chopped thyme and rosemary. TIP: To get a good rise, put boiling water into an appropriately-sized pan and place the bowl or baking dish on top, cover and let rise. This is a great tip when you’re short on time or if the inside temperature is a little chilly. Also, these rolls can be shaped into whatever shape you want. You would just need to adjust your baking time. Nutmeg Both Grenadian and East Indian ground nutmeg are easy to use and flavorful. Whole nutmeg are very large, about 80 per lb.

We want to be a part of this. Going forward we will continue to sell reasonably priced generic salts of the earth and sea, but we will no longer be selling the higher priced specialty salts. I feel things have gotten to a point where the specialty salts are glamorizing the use of salt and, with that, encouraging people to use more of it. I have also found that along with the marketing of specialty salt has come a great deal of misinformation, including claims that some salts don’t affect your health like others do. This is just not true and not something we want to be a part of. Salt is salt, it really is, and it tastes no different no matter where it comes from. With our belief that cooking comes from caring for those around you we feel part of that is caring for the well-being of the people we cook for. We all have our own relationship with salt and I respect that, but as a cook and as a business I feel so much better about working to cut back on the use of salt rather than encouraging the use of more.

It just wouldn’t be dessert without vanilla. Vanilla Beans from Madagascar and Mexico, where there is a long history of growing vanilla, have wonderful, strong flavor, and are best used in ice cream and custard, beverages and cheesecake, where the liquid in the dish helps extract the flavor of the bean. Given that one whole vanilla bean is usually used per recipe, it is easy to see why Pure Vanilla Extract is the more popular and economical choice—if one can use economical and vanilla in the same sentence. Using 1 teaspoon per dessert, a 4 fluid ounce bottle of extract will yield 24 desserts—more or less anyway, given that most of us add a bigger splash than the recipe calls for. Even our Single Strength Vanilla Extract is 10% stronger than the grocery store variety, and our Double strength Vanilla will give you twice as much vanilla flavor. Vanilla Sugar is a favorite here at Penzeys, but has also been made and used for years and years by Grandmas everywhere. It is made simply by splitting a vanilla bean and placing it in sugar until it becomes rich with vanilla flavor, then removing the bean and using the sugar in baking (replace 1 TB of the regular sugar in the recipe with 1 TB of Vanilla Sugar). We also love tossing Vanilla Sugar with fresh fruit like strawberries—after a few minutes even kids think it is as good as a cookie. Wash and cut fruit, leaving slightly damp, then toss with Vanilla Sugar (1-2 TB per quart of strawberries, for example) and let stand for a few minutes, then serve plain or as a topper for cereal or ice cream. Vanilla Sugar is an old-fashioned mix of real Vanilla Beans aged in pure sugar, that was used in the old days before Vanilla Extract. We’ve been blending and using Vanilla Sugar in our coffee for a long time, and it tastes great. Vanilla Sugar can be used in baking and candymaking, and is particularly nice where the flavor of the vanilla bean should shine through, such as in icecream. Vanilla sugar is also the perfect sprinkle for coffee and hot chocolate.

Pure extract from the highest quality 100% premium Madagascar “Bourbon Islands” vanilla beans. These beans have a rich and complex, smooth, true flavor. The cool-perking process retains the bean's full flavor, along with all of the desirable vanilla side notes. With over 400 flavor components in every highquality vanilla bean, artificial vanilla (which contains only one–synthetic vanillin) will never come close to matching the wonderful richness of pure vanilla extract. This extract is 10% stronger than the pure vanilla extract sold in supermarkets, and has the great Madagascar flavor.

Pure double strength vanilla extract made from the highest quality Madagascar “Bourbon Islands” vanilla beans. Compared to the single strength, twice as many beans are used to make each gallon of extract (about 200 beans). “Two-fold” vanilla extract has been the secret ingredient of professional bakers for years. For the amount of vanilla flavor specified in a recipe, use half as much. When used this way, double strength vanilla makes economic sense, as there is the equivalent of twice as much vanilla per bottle. For unbeatably rich vanilla flavor in baked goods and desserts, use the same amount the recipe calls for.

Michael Zionts People say that my kids and I make the Best Brownies in the Universe,” writes Michael Zionts from Buffalo, New York. “Everyone who has ever tasted them has been amazed. They are soft, filled with chocolate and delicious. “My kids love making the brownies. Isabella, Sophia and Sam must have made them a hundred times and each batch is better than the last. Baking is something we can all do together. It is a way that our family communicates and shares love. “Isabella, who is 12 years old, says, вЂ�I don’t remember a time when we weren’t baking something. When we’re making the brownies there is always something for everyone to do, even if it’s just helping to lick the bowl, which really is the best part! We started breaking the eggs when we were five years old. If a tiny piece of shell fell into the bowl, Daddy taught us to use an eggshell half to remove the piece from the bowl. It was part of the experience. “вЂ�My brother Sam learned to do addition using chocolate chips or chippies as we call them. Sam likes subtraction much better because that means he is eating the chippies,’” Isabella laughs. Cautions Michael, “We have made these brownies hundreds of times, but be warned—once you make them, people will ask for them again and again.” Best Brownies Ever Michael and his kids are very proud of their brownie recipe. Give it a try and you’ll see why. 2 2 2 4 3вЃ„4 1 1вЃ„2 1вЃ„4 1 sticks butter (1 Cup) Cups sugar tsp.

One such moment occurred when he was halfway around the world serving as the chief cook on a U.S. Naval ship. His wife Frances writes, “Our men and women in uniform do more than fight battles and keep us safe. They are the greatest ambassadors America can have. “In 1966, when the U.S.S. Aldebran AF10 supply ship stopped at a port in Rota, Spain, children from a local orphanage and the nuns who cared for them were invited on board as special guests. Richard and the men baked 400 Chocolate Krinkle Cookies and 400 Chocolate Chip cookies for their very special guests.” Closer to home, the Weyhers recall making this cookie for their only grandson James and his classmates when he was in second grade. “We tried to do whatever we could to Richard and Frances Weyher smile as they reminisce about the many people who have enjoyed his Chocolate Krinkle Cookies over the years. make his school days memorable for him. The teachers and students requested them from time to time for field trips and parties. We still enjoy baking them for James, now 27, and he still loves eating them.” Chocolate Krinkle Cookies This family favorite from the Weyhers should whet your appetite for all the holiday baking to come. 23вЃ„4 3 вЃ„4 23вЃ„4 11вЃ„8 23вЃ„4 1 6 1 1 Cups all-purpose flour tsp. salt tsp. baking powder Cups shortening or butter Cups sugar Cup COCOA POWDER eggs TB.

married. Everything was going great, but somehow in my planning I did not take into account that this year instead of having one nephew, I now had two. I watched them, one after the other, smother everything on their plates with what must have been a cup of gravy each. As I looked at the dwindling supply of my precious, precious gravy I smiled on the outside, but inside I was thinking, “Don’t you two understand just how valuable that gravy is?” The answer is that of course they knew, that’s why they covered everything on their plate with it. From that Thanksgiving forward I vowed never to be short on gravy again. Gravy really is the lifeblood of Thanksgiving dinner. With enough of it, no matter what might not go 100% right, everyone is assured of a juicy, delicious plate of goodness. It is even more important when re-heating things the next day, so be sure to send plenty home with everyone’s leftovers. In the years since I have found it is not just the nephews who love a goodly quantity. Put enough out on the table and watch as everyone enjoys. My brother-in-law Tom one year paid me the ultimate compliment when I overheard him say, “At Billy’s house, he serves gravy as a beverage!” Happy Thanksgiving. 62 Penzeys spices | HOLIDAY Bucket o’ Great Gravy When you need a lot of gravy, make rich stock ahead of time, then all you need to do is thicken it up before the holiday meal! For stock: 14-18 lb. turkey, breast removed + any extra turkey pieces you may have 2 gallons water 2 BAY LEAVES 1-2 tsp. POULTRY SEASONING 1-2 TB. BICENTENNIAL RUB For gravy: 11вЃ„2-2 gallons cooked, strained stock 1–11вЃ„2 Cups fat (butter or a mix of butter and turkey fat from the roasting pan) 2–21вЃ„2 Cups flour Make stock a day ahead of time, or the morning of, using one turkey minus the breast which should be cooked separately and served. Cook the stock on low for several hours; strain and refrigerate. When cold, the fat on the top can be pulled off and discarded or used for the gravy. Once simmered, the stock should reduce to about 11вЃ„2 gallons. If less, add more water. To make the gravy, heat the stock on low. In another pot that is large enough to hold all of the gravy, melt the butter or butter/turkey fat over medium-low. Sift in the flour 1вЃ„2 cup at a time, stirring after each addition until you have a smooth paste. Use the larger amount of flour and fat for thicker gravy. Once all the flour is added, let it cook another 10-15 minutes, stirring every few minutes. It should be golden brown when ready. Add heated stock one cup at a time, stirring well, until smooth. After about the 4th cup you can add 2-3 cups of stock at a time, stirring after each addition. Let cook until thick and bubbly, stirring every few minutes. Taste and add additional seasoning if desired. If too thick, a cup or two of water can be added and the flavor will still be great!
