Verrill's Corn-and-Tomato Tart

Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 04:00:00 +0100

The best corn recipe I've ever found is this tart from Verrill Farm in Concord, Massachusetts, where, in late summer, I buy armfuls of ears almost daily. At the farmstand's annual corn-and-tomato festival (see the accompanying box), people wait in long lines for this dish, which not only dazzles the tastebuds but looks gorgeous, too.

Helene Harbage's Star-Spangled Berry Pie

Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 04:00:00 +0100

The judge at the Shelburne Museum asked the secret of Helene's piecrust. She told him it was the Crisco. Crisco shortening contains hydrogenated vegetable oils, which we normally discourage (but it does make for flaky piecrusts). Feel free to use an equal amount of unsalted butter as a substitute. This recipe makes two crusts, but you'll need only one for Helene's pie. (Label and freeze the second dough ball.)

Lobster Salad

Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 04:00:00 +0100

This recipe is a simple and delicious alternative to the usual salad made with mayonnaise. It's lighter and fresher-tasting, letting the taste of the lobster stand out, and the French bread is a flavorful improvement over the typical hot dog roll. Try the salad on a bed of mixed greens instead of on bread, too.

Chilled Roasted-Red-Pepper Soup

Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 04:00:00 +0100

This recipe is adapted from chef Erhard Wendt of the Williamsville Inn in West Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and it's a big hit at Rubi's Café in Great Barrington. Owner Matthew Rubiner chose this as a refreshing and filling starter for his summer picnic at Tanglewood. We like it chilled or heated up with some crusty bread.

Beef Stroganoff a la Penguin

Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 04:00:00 +0100

I've always loved stroganoff, but never had a proper recipe, so I ended up throwing things together in a pan and tasting it until it was perfect. Since then, it's become an easy staple. As such, amounts indicated are approximate, and can be slightly varied to taste and texture.

Ruth Feeney's Blackberry Jelly

Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 04:00:00 +0100

Ruth no longer processes her jars in a hot-water bath, but instead runs them through the dishwasher and takes them out just after the cycle is done, so they�re still hot and sterilized. If your dishwasher gets hot enough, this is a good method; otherwise boil the jars and lids. (For links to canning and pickling instructions and tips, go to: YankeeMagazine.com) Ruth also seals her jars with paraffin, eliminating the need for water processing. You may also use the following recipe to make elderberry jelly, if you have a good and trusted source. (Ruth picks hers on the banks of the Androscoggin River.) She calls elderberry the �Cadillac� of jellies and says it makes a great gift.

Ruth Feeney's Mother's Sour Mustard Pickles

Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 04:00:00 +0100

It would be very hard to find an easier, faster pickle recipe--or one with a spunkier, more delicious result. Ruth says you can process these pickles in jars if you want to keep them all winter, but she just stirs up the mix from time to time and they last through the summer and fall. You can keep adding fresh cucumbers to the brine and they'll turn into pickles. Ruth keeps the crock on the counter and has one every once in a while.
