I still have Thanksgiving leftovers and I’m not complaining. I love leftover turkey sandwiches. In fact, sometimes I like the leftovers even better than the main meal, and I accessorize them with gusto.
Yesterday afternoon, we perked up our turkey sandwiches with Cranberry, Pear and Apple Relish–-a fresh, delicious alternative to the basic, stodgy cranberry sauce. With apples, cranberries and pears all in season in B.C. it is the perfect time to try this relish recipe. Enjoy it with your leftovers now, then keep using it with other roasted meats throughout the fall.
The recipe makes about six 8 oz. jars. The size and simplicity of the recipe makes it perfect for those new to canning. (Recipe after the jump.) read more »

I have offered to bring dessert and can’t think of a better option than John Bishop’s Roasted Pumpkin Tart. At Bishop’s restaurant in Kits, arguably one of the best in the city, dessert will run you about $14/person–not exactly in my everyday budget. But for about twice that price, I bought the Bishop’s cookbook, Seasonal Recipes Made With Local Foods, and plan on doing my best at recreating the magic at home. (Recipe after the jump) read more »
