Over the weekend Resident Chef and I tried making Roasted Garlic and Onion Relish/Jam as you can see....
...and here is the recipe if you'd like to try it for yourself. Sure tastes yummy on hamburgers!

- I was going to just pick a couple of THESE patterns to share with you and finally decided that perhaps you'd like to see them all so you can choose your favourite(s).
- There are a number of great ideas for repurposing things HERE.
- Have a look at the portfolio of THIS incredible artist!
- Depending on the colours, THIS would be an amazing blanket. I would love to make one but then I remind myself that it would involve adding to my stash and I talk myself out of it.
- HERE is another artist that does amazing work.

I love roast garlic. What oven temp do you use? I like making garlic into spreadable butter.
ReplyDeleteWe love it too! 400 degrees to roast it - about 45 mins. (I'll amend the recipe to reflect the time/temp - thanks)
DeleteSounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the room snd equipment to can things.
It definitely tastes great! We don't have much room either and our storage space is far too warm for things to keep. We bought a small bar-sized fridge and keep things in that (until we run out of space!)
DeleteI can only imagine how your home smelled. I may try making a few jars for Christmas. Don't have to raise a garden to make that jam.
ReplyDeleteGreat quote.
Well, I love the smell of garlic and onions together so as far as I was concerned the house smelled great. Those walking by in the hall might not have been as happy though!
DeleteLooks and sounds delicious Mary Anne! Christine xx
ReplyDeleteIt has just the right degree of 'spice' to it and surprisingly it all comes from just onions, garlic and vinegar.
DeleteInteresting recipe! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Let me know if you make it.
DeleteHow do you use this relish\jam? It sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteWell, so far we've tested it on hamburgers and pork and I'm looking forward to seeing what it's like with a grilled cheese sandwich. I suspect it will be good with chicken too.
