REDUCED SUGAR SPICED APPLE BUTTER



Reduced Sugar Spiced Apple Butter image

I was tired of finding apple butter recipes with more sugar than apples, so I adapted a few and perfected it. This recipe makes the house smell fantastic and tastes like fall. Enjoy! If you do not have an immersion blender: allow cooked apples to cool, transfer to a regular blender, and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the flavor. If the texture is too liquidy still, return to slow cooker and allow it to reduce for about another hour more. This recipe is really about adjusting to your taste. If you like a lighter color, cook it less. If you want it highly spiced, throw on the cloves, etc. This recipe freezes well.

SPICED SALMON WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS AND RED ONION



Spiced Salmon With Sugar Snap Peas and Red Onion image

Seared sugar snap peas and red onions make a sweet accompaniment to silky salmon fillets in this lovely springtime one-pan meal. The salmon fillets, coated in a garlicky spice blend, are briefly browned, leaving fragrant, savory drippings in the pan. Those drippings then season the vegetables, infusing them as they cook. Keep an eye on the salmon, especially if you prefer it on the rare side. Thin fillets in particular are all too easy to overcook.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, seafood, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1 teaspoon baharat spice blend , or use another warm and earthy spice blend, such as garam masala
4 (6- to 8-ounce) salmon fillets
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 medium red onions
1 pound sugar snap peas (4 cups)
Lime wedges
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro or mint leaves and tender stems

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon oil, garlic and baharat. Season salmon all over with salt and black pepper. Rub spice mixture all over salmon. Set salmon aside while slicing the onions and sugar snap peas.
  • Cut the onions in half root-to-stem, then peel them and slice into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons. Trim the peas and cut them in half crosswise.
  • In a large, preferably nonstick ovenproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over high heat. Add fish, skin-side down if there's skin, and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer salmon to a plate, browned-side up. (Don't sear the other side; the salmon will finish cooking in the oven.)
  • Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Stir in onions and cook until lightly golden, 3 minutes. Add snap peas and a pinch each of salt and pepper, stirring everything to coat with pan juices. Cook until peas have softened and browned slightly, 5 to 7 minutes. Put salmon, browned-side up, on top of peas and transfer pan to the oven. Roast until fish is just cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes longer.
  • Squeeze a little lime juice over salmon and transfer fish to serving plates. Stir herbs into peas and onions. Taste, and add more salt and lime juice, if needed. Serve with the salmon, with the lime wedges on the side.

OLIVE OIL APPLE CAKE WITH SPICED SUGAR



Olive Oil Apple Cake with Spiced Sugar image

This dairy-free cake hits all the right autumnal notes: it's earthy thanks to the olive oil, warm thanks to the spices. Just be sure to choose your apples wisely-a softer type will melt into the cake, while firmer apples (such as Granny Smith) will give the cake a coarser texture.

Provided by David Tamarkin

Categories     Dessert     Cake     Dairy Free     Apple     Cinnamon     Cardamom     Ginger     Egg     Vanilla     Olive Oil

Yield Makes one 9x5" cake

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup mild extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for pan
1/2 cup plus 2 tsp. (100 g plus 10 g) granulated sugar, plus more for pan
2 sweet apples, such as Golden Delicious or Gala
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. ground cardamom
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1 1/2 cups (185 g) all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 large eggs
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup (100 g) (packed) brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour about 1 Tbsp. oil into a 9x5" loaf pan and coat bottom and sides with fingertips. Sprinkle granulated sugar onto sides and bottom of pan to lightly coat.
  • Grate apples, peel and all, on the large holes of a box grater. Gather apples in a clean kitchen towel and wring out excess liquid. Be aggressive! You want them as dry as possible when they go into the batter.
  • Whisk cinnamon, pepper, cardamom, and ginger in a medium bowl. Transfer 1/4 tsp. spice mixture to a small bowl; set aside. Add flour and baking powder to remaining spice mixture and whisk to combine.
  • Whisk together eggs, egg yolks, brown sugar, vanilla, salt, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a large bowl. Continue whisking vigorously until lightened in color and thickened. Whisking with one hand and pouring with the other, slowly stream 1 cup oil into egg mixture until combined. Gently fold flour mixture into whipped eggs with a flexible rubber spatula just until combined, taking care not to overmix.
  • Fluff up grated apples and scatter over batter. Gently fold to incorporate.
  • Transfer batter to prepared pan; smooth top. Add 2 tsp. granulated sugar to reserved spice mixture and mix to combine. Sprinkle spiced sugar evenly over top of batter.
  • Bake cake until deep golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 60-70 minutes. Let cake cool in pan. Run a butter knife or offset spatula along edge of cake to loosen and invert onto a platter.
  • Do Ahead: Cake can be made 3 days ahead (the flavor gets slightly more intense each day). Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

SPICED PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE WITH BROWN SUGAR & BOURBON CREAM



Spiced Pumpkin Cheesecake With Brown Sugar & Bourbon Cream image

Posted for safekeeping. This is from America's Test Kitchen, and according to my co-worker it's not only the best pumpkin cheesecake recipe he's ever had, but also the best cheesecake period. "Depending on the oven and the temperature of the ingredients, the cheesecake may bake about 15 minutes faster or slower than the instructions indicate; it is therefore best to check the cake 1 1/4 hours into baking. Although the cheesecake can be make up to three days in advance, the crust will begin to lose its crispness after only one day. To make slicing the cheesecake easy and neat, use a knife with a narrow blade, such as a carving knife; between cuts, dip the blade into a pitcher of hot water and wipe it clean with paper towels. The cheesecake is good on it's own, bu the Brown Sugar and Bourbon Cream is a grand addition" Also want to note, don't let the number of steps scare you off, most of them indicate technique, not actual extra steps as is the way of America's Test Kitchen.

SUGAR-FREE SPICED APPLESAUCE



Sugar-Free Spiced Applesauce image

This spiced applesauce is an amazing way to start the morning. I love it by itself or as a healthy topping for oatmeal, yogurt, or cottage cheese. I try to eat gluten- and sugar-free food as much as possible while keeping it delicious and full of flavor. This simple recipe is an easy choice! Agave nectar is a fantastic natural sweetener that is low carb and low glycemic index. It is about twice as sweet as sugar so use it in moderation. Use twice the amount of sugar if you are going to substitute. I like my apples tart, so feel free to sweeten to taste.

SPICED IRISH OATMEAL WITH CREAM AND CRUNCHY SUGAR



Spiced Irish Oatmeal With Cream and Crunchy Sugar image

A shower of heavy cream and plenty of caramelized Demerara sugar may make these Irish oats seem more like dessert than something you'd serve first thing in the morning, but that's all the more reason to bake them up for a special occasion breakfast or brunch. Cardamom and cinnamon give them an especially earthy, perfumed aroma, and toasting the oats in butter before baking them lends nuttiness and depth. They're also extremely easy, and you can assemble the dish the night before, then bake them in the morning. Just add about 10 minutes to the baking time if you're starting them cold from the fridge.

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon shallot, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
12 ounces pork tenderloin (1 tenderloin)

1 1/2 teaspoons safflower oil
1 1/2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1/4 teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1/4 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Spray the grill rack with nonstick spray; prepare the grill.
  • PREPARE GLAZE:.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the marmalade, lime juice, and shallot to a boil. Boil 2 minutes. Allow to cool, then transfer half of the glaze to a small bowl.

  • PREPARE PORK:.
  • Rub the rub all over the pork.

  • PREPARE SUGAR-SNAP PEAS:.
  • In a saucepan of boiling water, cook the sugar-snaps until crisp-tender.
  • Rinse under cold water and drain.
  • Toss the sugar-snap peas with the oil, vinegar, ginger, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. (Be sure to add the vinegar to the sugar-snap peas just before serving, or the veggie's color will dull.).

  • Slice the tenderloin, drizzle with the glaze, and serve with the sugar-snap peas.

JAMIE'S SPICED SUGAR AND CHRISTMAS POPCORN RECIPE



Jamie's Spiced Sugar and Christmas Popcorn Recipe image

This Jamie Oliver sugar mix really does smell like Christmas (although you are not limited to eating it only at Christmas!). The sugar recipe makes loads, (but is easily halved) and it keeps in an airtight container for absolutely ages and can be used on a variety of things (to sweeten whipped cream, on porridge, on fruit--you name it...), so it's well worth doing a full batch. I don't usually do sweet popcorn, but I like this one!

Time 20m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 fresh bay leaves
2 oranges, zest of, finely grated
2 lemons, zest of, finely grated
6 whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
whole nutmeg (10 gratings)
1 vanilla pod, halved lengthways
1 kg caster sugar, unrefined if possible
olive oil
1 slice butter
250 g popcorn
6 tablespoons spiced sugar

Steps:

  • SPICED SUGAR:.
  • Put all of the sugar ingredients, except the sugar into a food processor and whiz until well blended and fine. Add the sugar and whiz again to combine everything together.

  • POPCORN:.
  • Put the oil and butter into a pan on high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the popcorn and stir well to coat. Cover and leave to pop, shaking occasionally.
  • Put the sugar into a large bowl and when the popcorn is ready, add it to the bowl, tossing quickly to coat it with the sugar.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of spices to create different flavor profiles. Some popular spices for spiced sugar include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and cardamom.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sugar, as this can cause it to burn and become bitter.
  • Store the spiced sugar in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help to preserve its flavor and prevent it from becoming clumpy.
  • Use spiced sugar to add flavor to your favorite baked goods, such as cookies, cakes, and muffins. You can also use it to sprinkle on top of oatmeal, yogurt, or fruit.
