Jane HenegarThis morning we received a repeat request for apple butter made without sugar but with fruit juice. And here’s another. Vera Storey of South Pittsburg, Tennessee, is seeking a lost spicy cookie. She wrote of reading “about a year ago a recipe for cookies that contained quite a bit of cayenne pepper. I cut the recipe out and used it often, as my family liked it so much. The recipe got lost and my family keeps asking for the cookies.” So here’s the request: for an afore-printed cookie with cayenne.
Thirdly, do you know from experience about making casseroles with instant potatoes, and whether the leftovers may be frozen? (See more details in this column.)
Finally, here’s a request for one reader in particular but also for all of you: How does one make a mirepoix?
GINGERY CHICKEN
Clifford Burdette’s second recipe highlighting fresh ginger comes with grilled chicken and has a family history to it. “This recipe was given to me by my father-in-law about 45 years ago,” Mr. Burdette explained.
