I love cooking and baking and even though it’s a necessity in life, I’ve turned it into a hobby that I enjoy. When it comes to recipes, I primarily stick with the classics…you know, the type’s of recipes that are handed down from generation to generation in one’s family. While exploring new choices are fun, I always revert back to the classics.
* Complimentary Product Received for Review.
One of my favorite brands when it comes to pure extracts is Nielsen-Massey and I’ve been using their products for the past 6 years. I love their pure vanillas, coffee & chocolate extracts, orange extract and now I’m a big fan of their Pure Lemon Extract which I’m featuring today.
If’ you’re unfamiliar with the Nielsen-Massey Pure Lemon Extract, let me tell you, it’s the best out in the retail marketplace. It’s full of delicious lemon flavor and you can use it when making fish, pork or chicken dishes. It blends extremely well with a variety of herbs like: parsley, rosemary, thyme, garlic and basil.
Because it’s a pure extract, you don’t need a lot of it. You can add just a splash of pure lemon extract to your favorite beverages, vegetables, cakes, cookies, pies, jams and/or to just about any of your favorite dessert recipes. Plus, in my honest opinion, it’s more convenient to use as compared to running out and buying fresh lemons all of the time…when you just need a teaspoon or two of lemon juice!
Check out these extract conversions:
* 1/2 tsp. Lemon Extract = 1 Tbs. Fresh Lemon Juice.
* 1 tsp. Lemon Extract = 1 tsp. Lemon Zest
We enjoy making homemade waffles during the weekend and this recipe is one that we like to use. You can use any type of fresh or frozen berries that you have on hand. We like using blueberries, raspberries, chopped strawberries or cranberries. Don’t have berries on hand? You can use this same recipe and toss in chocolate chips or make them plain.
