Summer Tomato-Peach Chutney
This gorgeous, orange-hued chutney is ideal with grilled meats or inside grilled cheese sandwiches. If you can, use meatier tomatoes like Romas or little Juliets. Heirloom slicers will taste good, but they bring a lot of water to the equation that will have to be cooked out.
Beer and Brown Sugar Steak Marinade
I concocted this marinade on a lark and it turned out great. The flavors complement and do not overwhelm the natural taste of beef.
Buttermilk Cookies
These are a soft, delicious, sugar cookie but with a hint of buttermilk. A friend of mine gave this recipe to me years ago and my family loves them so much that I have a hard time keeping them in the cookie jar! You can sprinkle the tops of these with a little granulated sugar just before baking or ice after completely cooled.
