Spice it up
Friday, August 07, 2009
Suzy stumbled upon the lollipop tree on a recent trip to Portsmouth NH. This granite state-based food company makes the most delicious rubs, sauces, dressings and jellies that simplifies cooking but ramps up taste.
But Suzy wasn't the first to discover lollipoptree.com…Williams-Sonoma has been using the cookery to manufacture their scrumptious packaged foods for years.
Start the day off with the pecan praline pancake mix with wild blueberry syrup and finish the day with the avocado salad. (recipe included).
Avocado Salad with Raspberry Shallot Dressing
Ingredients:
1 jar LollipopTree® Raspberry Shallot Pepper Jelly (11oz)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 large Hass avocados, peeled, seeded and diced
1/3 cup sliced scallions
11 ounces mandarin oranges
½ cup chopped walnuts, toasted
Salt and pepper to taste $6.50

In a small bowl, whisk 1/3 cup Raspberry Shallot Pepper Jelly and mustard together. Set aside. In a separate bowl, place remaining ingredients. Add dressing and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Serve on a bed of mixed greens. Top with grilled chicken or salmon, if desired. Serve
