As I typed this I kept typing out cheeries instead of cherries. That might be a subconscious reaction to how these make me feel. Juicy red orbs that are delicately sweet but distinctively briny.

Pear Ginger Jam Popsicles
Summer is finally and officially here. Warm weather, sun burns, and popsicles are the hallmarks of summer in my memory. Freezer pops that melted into a sticky mess in my hands and ran down my elbows. The good news is no one is too old for any of those things. To make jam popsicles you …

Porter Swirled Pecan Blondies
Guest Post At work I often make really elaborate pastries and cakes. There are a million steps and a ton of dirty dishes.
