Sufganiyot for Hanukkah

December 4, 2012 by Tim Bratton 0 comments

A sufganiyot is a round-shaped donut that is injected with red jelly or custard, then topped with powdered sugar and eaten warm. In Yiddish, sufganiyah (plural for for sufganiyot) are called “ponchkes.”

The Hebrew word sufganiyot is derived from the Hebrew word for “sponge.” This is a reference to describe the way a sufganiyot absorbs oil, somewhat similar to a sponge. At Hanukkah, Jews observe the custom of eating fried foods in commemoration of the miracle associated with the Temple oil.

Meyer Lemon Meringue Pie

June 21, 2012 by Tim Bratton 0 comments

Brightly flavored lemon desserts are perfect for summertime. For a subtle twist on classic lemon desserts, try using meyer lemons. They are slightly sweeter and less acidic than regular lemons because they are a hybrid of lemon and mandarin orange. They originated in China, and it was a man named Frank N. Meyer that first brought them to the US in the early 1900s (which explains the name).

Meyer lemons are typically smaller and more spherical than traditional lemons, with a ..read more
