Karen’s 2 QUICHE recipes: 1. Salmon  2. Butternut Squash, Walnuts, Blue Cheese and Spinach

For the quiches I used my standard recipe, but without a crust.  Here is what I do.

Butter the inside of a deeper pie plate and set oven temp at 325.

Layer ingredients to flavor your quiche in the bottom.

Last night one quiche had crumbled smoked salmon (about a cup) and sliced scallions on top. The other had sliced cooked butternut squash( 1cup), chopped walnuts (1/2 cup), crumbled blue cheese(1/4 cup) and torn fresh spinach (i/2 cup) The recipe actually called for using yam and then instead of spinach, to use sea asparagus or stinging nettle, and rockweed a type of seaweed.

In a blender mix well and then pour over the other ingredients:

4 eggs
1 and 1/2 cups half and half
2/3 c. grated Gruyere Cheese
1 and 1/3 c. grated Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 tsp salt
a few grinds of pepper

For the salmon quiche I also add some fresh or dried dill.

Because I added blue cheese in the vegetable quiche, I didn’t add the gruyere to that one.

Bake 45-50 minutes.

Kay’s delicious berry liqueur – February 2014

Use a wide mouth quart jar, fill it half way with sugar cubes (be sure to use cubes). Fill with fresh berries (blackberries and raspberries work well) and mash down.  Fill with vodka, put lid on jar.  Store for 8-12 weeks.  Give the jar a shake about once a week. Strain through a strainer and then through cheesecloth lined funnel. Pour into a clean bottle and enjoy.
