I now live in MI and cannot find black raspberries anywhere to save to my life! i have just recently ordered some black raspberry puree off a site that sells ice cream ingredients and mixes hopefully this will be worth it when it gets here. I too have used the smuckers simply fruit but it is not what I am looking for flavor wise!

Comment on Spaghetti alla Carbonara by Rick

I had much the same problem you did in trying to get this dish just right — the way I’d had it in Rome. Then I found a YouTube video made by an Italian chef right in the restaurant’s kitchen. Success!

Making perfect carbonara is still very much a feel thing, but after a few attempts (and no real failures), I now have this dish to the point where it comes out terrifically every time. One thing to remember: making it for one is a snap, for two is a bit more difficult, for four or more, you’re really asking for trouble. I spoke to a chef about this and his answer was to prep everything and make it in smaller batches that will cook better because the amount of ingredients I was using for four servings was cooling things down too much.

Okay, here’s how to make The Real Carbonara: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sBxqVWbpDw

Just for the record, pancetta just doesn’t cut it in this dish once you’ve had the real Roman version with guanciale. It’s worth the effort to find a source for it. It’s also a must for pasta all’ammatriciana.

Buon appetito!

When is a quail not a quail?. ………When it’s bin caught, cutup, cooked and digested.
Mmmmm! I now have to convince one fine lady that the cuddly fluffy little cherubic birds I plan to buy to let run with our chooks soon will be worth the cookin’ not long after !
Wish me luck folks !

So it is ok to make more brine solution if you are running low to top off your jars before going in the canner to be processed? I made bread and butter pickles and was a little short on brine so I mixed up 1/3 of all the ingredients in the brine (salt was not one of them….it was just cider vinegar, sugar, tumeric, mustard seed, celery seeds) and then made sure the jars were filled with the appropriate amount of headspace and processed as directed. How do I know if this is ok?

I also found this out. In the IL-MO area, they are carried at Dierberg’s…at $4.99 per 8oz bag! Yikes!

Comment on Whiskey-Glazed Smoked Chicken by Earl

When doing pulled pork in a smoker using Boston Butt take the butt out after 4 hours, wrap it in foil and finish it in the oven at 250 degrees for a few hours untill it reaches 205 degrees. If you want it sliced then cook to 195 degrees. The butt will release a lot of liquid when doing this so after you pull it add the liquid back into the meat.

Trader Joes has stopped carrying black raspberries nation wide. They weren’t selling enough. I did, however, find them today at Whole Foods. Just FYI.

I live in WI and I also crave the black raspberry ice cream that I’ve had where I’m from in PA. I just bought an ice cream maker and was sitting here wondering where I might find black raspberries. I’ve been wanting to try Trader’s Joes and for some reason haven’t made it there yet, so now all the more reason to get there! Thank you so much.

I’ve found this stuff in Maine my whole life…I don’t think it’s only available in Mid Atlantic states. Thanks for the recipe, though! This is way better than Breyer’s.
