2009-2010 SPRING GARDEN TASTING RECIPES!                             

Black Bean & Corn Salsa                                                                      Great as a side dish, or serve as a Salsa.                                          Ingredients:                                                                                                                                  1-(16oz.)Cherith Valley Corn Relish                                                                                           2-Cans Black Beans (Well drained & rinsed)                                                                              1/2 Cup Fresh Parsley (Chopped fine)                                                                                       1/2 Red Onion (chopped fine)                                                                                                                                                 1 Fresh Tomato                                                                                                 

This is easy!  Just mix all together.  The tomato is best added right before it is                       served to keep them crisp.  If you desire more of a salsa, add more tomatoes                         & garnish with cilantro.

 

Spicy Vegetable Dip                                                                              This is always one of the favorites at the open house!  It is very spicy  &                                very easy!                                                                                                                                Ingredients:                                                                                                                                  1 (16oz.) Jar Cherith Valley Spicy Mixed Vegetables                                                                  4 Cups Sour Cream

 

 

Lavender Lemonade                                                                               This was a hit!  Would be great to serve for a shower or special brunch.  It is                          made with    the Miller Creek Margarita Mix which makes a GREAT margarita                          but is also great as a non-alcoholic summer drink.                                                                  Ingredients:                                                                                                                                1 Bottle Miller Creek Lavender Margarita Mix                                                                                                                                                   2 Cans (12oz.)

Marbled Blackberry Cake                                                                    

Another VERY easy dessert that looks like you spent a lot of time!!  We used                             Blackberry Preserves but this is a dessert that would be good with all good                            fruit preserves.  Can also be made as mini muffins.                                                                  Ingredients:                                                                                                                                      Good Yellow Cake Mix                                                                                                                 1 Small box vanilla instant pudding  ( or use a cake mix that has "pudding in the mix                                                                                                                                                  1 Jar San Saba River Blackberry  Preserves                                                                                                

Directions:     Make up cake mix by directions on box.  Before baking, pour                            preserves on top & using a knife "swirl" it into the cake mix.  Cook by directions                       on cake mix box but might need an additional 10 minutes because of the moisture.               TIP:  We found placing a piece of parchment paper in pan & spraying both with                       cooking spray (before pouring mix into pan) in helped a great deal in being able                     to remove cake as a whole & cut into pieces.  ENJOY!

 

Orange-Chiffon                                                                                        

A creamy, delicious, EASY dessert that takes minutes to "whip" up!   (It is the                         same recipe we use in the fall for our Pumpkin Chiffon.)  Best served (chilled)                        in parfait glasses or soufflé cups.  At our Spring Tasting we garnished these with                   the very thin ginger snaps found at World Market!                                                                    Ingredients:                                                                                                                                      1 Jar San Saba River Orange Pecan Marmalade                                                                       1 Large Box Vanilla Pudding Mix                                                                                              1 Pt. Heavy Whipping Cream                                                                                                    

Directions:   Mix all three together in bowl with hand or electric mixer.  Beat                         until mixture forms stiff peaks.  Chill!  Spoon out or pipe into dishes.  Can be lightly    garnished with pecans or grated orange rind.  ENJOY!
