Strawberry Preserves
These preserves can be canned and stored for up to 1 year; multiply the recipe, if you like.
Fennel Spice Mix
Toss this mix with 2 pounds potatoes just before grilling. See page 389 for grilling instructions.
Orange Marmalade
This marmalade can be made with navel oranges, blood oranges, or tangerines.
Mango and Tomato Salsa
This piquant salsa should be prepared at least a few hours in advance to allow the flavors to fully develop. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; allow it to come to room temperature before serving.
Barbecue Rub
Dry rubs add intense flavor to chicken, pork, and beef. Apply the rub at least 1 hour and up to 3 days before cooking.
Watermelon-Tequila Refreshers
If you prefer to serve alcohol-free cocktails, omit the tequila—the drink is still delicious.
Blueberry-Walnut Muesli
Serve with yogurt, berries, and a drizzle of honey.
Red Chile Sauce
Be sure your kitchen is well ventilated when you soak the New Mexican and guajillo chiles; their vapors can be a mild irritant.
