Vanessa's lovely book
Prepped arrived last weekend and I have really enjoyed reading it. She has some really super ideas and recipes. One of the key elements of her cooking is having ingredients such as sugars and syrups prepared. So to start myself off, I made a jar of Cardamom Sugar. I am really looking forward to cooking with it!

| 2 simple ingredients |
 |
| Layer together in a clean glass jar |
 |
| Label and store |
She recommends keeping it for at least a month before you use it, so I popped the date on the label.
PS I just checked in the dictionary and my spelling with a "n" at the end is also OK, what a relief!
I also spell cardamon with an n! Curious and interested to see what you do with the sugar. Just found your blog - you've got some great ideas here! Becky
ReplyDeleteOh I just love Cardamom.. such a lovely flavour. look forward to seeing what you make x
ReplyDeleteBecky, thank goodness I'm not the only one. Spelling is a nightmare!
ReplyDeleteB and WL M, I can't wait to use the sugar, but Vanessa says at least 4 weeks! So hopefully I can try something at the beginning of July!
I've only JUST bought cardamom...can't wait to see what you do with this! Looking into getting my own copy of vanessa's book! yum yum :)
ReplyDeleteI do love Vanessa's book so much!... just to let you know that you were one of two winners of my Gwyneth Paltrow book competition. Will you email me with your address details please to dom@thepersuaders.co.uk thanks and congrats! x
ReplyDeleteI adore cardamom in baking but never thought of making cardamom sugar. What a super idea. Will look forward to seeing how you use it! K x
ReplyDeleteVictoria and Kristina I can!'t wait either, role on July!
ReplyDeleteDom Vanessa's book is super, I really admire her having the guts to peruse her dream! And I'm thrilled about Gwyneth Paltrow's book! Thank you
Now that is a fabulous idea. I love baking with cardamom, it's one of my favourite spices. Vanilla sugar I have on the go, but would never have thought of something as obvious as this.
ReplyDeletesuch a great idea! i adore the flavour of cardamom, use it not only in baking sweet stuff but also in savoury dishes (:

ReplyDeleteI have a shelf load of flavoured sugars at the moment - lemon balm sugar for panacottas, lavender sugar for throwing onto shortbread and basil sugar for herbs. Manically trying to use some of the herbs that are overgrowing in my garden just now thanks to rain sun rain sun rain that we have had for days here in Scotland.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to see what you do with your cardamon sugar.
Hi Vanessa I will submit it to the Prepped club, thank you,
ReplyDeleteCarlo your sugars sound so exciting, I'm going to try some when I get to my herb garden in France! (sounds grander then it is!)
Sorry that should read Carole, the iPad is always making silly 'corrections'.
