I accept these rainy days as a special occasion. Let’s be optimistic! Here is a special recipe to enjoy -hopefully-last days of Winter. (Yeah I know, it’s Spring but my heart does not let me say so when I do not see the sun around!) this recipe’s credit is due to my dearest Asli ♥

Believe me this is the easiest recipe that you’ll ever try! Just mix all the ingredients in a pan, bring it under a simmer over the lowest heat setting on the stovetop and do not allow to boil the wine. And that’s all!

Hope you like it as much as i do!

I have a soft spot for orange! Love orange candies, fresh squeezed orange juice and all kind of orange treats. If you’re like me, here is a great recipe which you can make with orange peels.

Ingredients:

4 oranges

3 cups of sugar

Water

Remove the peels of oranges and slice them into thin strips. Place the peels in boiling water and blanch them a couple of times. Remove and rinse the peels and repeat this process a second time. This step is suppose to remove bitterness from the peels.

Then prepare a simple syrup by combining 3 cups of sugar and 5 cups of water. Dissolve the sugar and boil this mix with orange peels and simmer it about 30 – 40 minutes.  Once this process is done, remove them from the pot and pat dry with a paper towel and cover it in sugar. And voila!

If you like Turkish Coffee, do remember that orange candy is a great company for Turkish Coffee as well!

Have a nice weekend pals

I am a fruit person and pomegranate is one of my favorites. Especially juicy fruits mean a lot to me. When I was browsing around, I’ve seen this pomegranate jam on Cafe Fernando – which is my favorite food blog at all times! I have decided to try this recipe with my own style but I think I cooked it much more than I supposed to, so if you want to try pomegranate recipe please do follow Cenk‘s recipe.

Here is how i made it:

Ingredients:

4 pomegranates’ juice

1 pomegranate seeds

2 and a half cups of sugar

1 lemon juice

Squeeze 4 pomegranates and keep 1 pomegranate seeds. Mix pomegranate juice and 2 and a half cups of sugar in a pot. Cook this mix in medium heat and stir it constantly. There will be pink foam on jam, skim this off. Add lemon juice and cook it 5 more minutes and add seeds. I cooked 10 – 12 more minutes because it seemed so liquid to me but I think 5 more minute is enough to have a good jam.  Finally, put your jam in a sterilized jar and enjoy your delicious jam in these winter days!

Lovez,

Elcin
