Cherry Chipotle Relish 6531TammyM) Hey, Girlie, I had my threads mixed up. I posted the cherry jam recipe thinking you wanted it for the brownies. This might give you a...
If you do Frangelico, use broken hazelnuts instead of almonds. I don't think of cherry and hazelnuts together--cherries and almond, yes. What fruit goes with hazelnuts? Hmmm....Dunno. Might be good with cherries.
I dunno...when it comes to brownies, I am a purist. I don't want cherries, I don't almond flavoring, I don't want coffee flavoring...I don't even want PEANUT BUTTER! And I LOVE peanut butter with chocolate!!!!
I just want pure, deep, rich chocolate flavor, unadulterated by anything but the occasional crunch of a toasted walnut or pecan!
I love chocolate, but not in EVERYTHING. I prefer vanilla ice cream, in fact, but chocolate accents are good (fudge swirl, chocolate candies, choc. covered nuts, etc). I don't like chocolate in pancakes or muffins. I don't like chocolate chips in banana bread. I don't really like chocolate milk or hot cocoa, either. When I crave chocolate, it's not just the flavor I crave, it's the texture, I think. too. Fudgy brownies are probably my very favorite way to eat chocolate. Followed closely by chocolate candy...like a Hershey's Kiss, or a chocolate bar with almonds, I'm very big on pure chocolate plus either some kind of nuts or peanut butter. Chocolate plus ONE thing. Nuts. OR peanut butter. OR coconut. Or cookie of some sort (like a Kit Kat) Or Caramel. Ok, exceptions to this would be a Snickers, or one of those new Take 5 bars (wow, if that wasn't invented by a woman with PMS I don't know what was!!!! Salty pretzel, topped with sweet caramel, peanut butter, chopped peanuts for more salt and crunch, all topped off with a layer of rich milk chocolate! Salty, sweet and crunchy all in one!!!). And Almond Joy. But otherwise, I tend to go simple when it comes to chocolate.
This seems to be more and more as I get older. I also no longer like "everything" pizza. I'm more appreciative now of a single topping (two at the most, because I'm indecisive) pizza.
Cherry Chipotle Relish 6530Just put this on my website, too. I used two canned chipotles for the second time around (I'd used a couple dried...
Anyway, I wouldn't turn down one of Barb's amazing Chocolate Cherry Amaretto Brownies, I'm certain they would be delicious. I know I would like them. But I'd probably have just one and go back to the basic boy brownies. (with nuts). I just feel like brownies with walnuts are perfect without all the other stuff. --- Love like you've never been hurt Live like there's no tomorrow And dance like there's nobody watching
