Penzey's Pear Ginger Coffee Cake - has anyone made it?
Comments (15)Lpink, Oh, tart cherries! Back in my childhood in Ohio there was a tree in our backyard so I fondly remember wonderful cherry pies, and miss being able to get them here in the south. I love warm cherry pie (ala mode, of course) and was distressed at having to buy cans of tart cherries at an exhorbitant price, with very few cherries floating around in the can. Hmmm. Never really thought about substituting sour cream or yogurt for buttermilk. I hate having to waste most of a quart of buttermilk in order to make my mom's old cake recipe, then noticed cans of powdered buttermilk on the store shelves, so I've been using that for quite a while and don't notice any difference. . . except when I didn't sift out the little hard lumps which occurred while stored in the refrigerator....See MoreWhat to order from Penzey's
Comments (23)I *love* Penzey's, it smells so good in their stores. Here are some of my staples/favorites: Smoked Paprika--I use this in nearly all of my winter stews. Gives a rich, smoky flavor. Chicago Steak Seasoning, great in bbq beef or "sloppy joes", steaks, burgers and occasionally pork chops, though for pork I generally prefer... Pork Chop Seasoning--great on grilled chops and in barbeque pork. I make my own bbq sauce with this. Muskego Street Fish and Chicken, this is a new one, and very simple--just pepper, salt and lemon, but it's convenient and the balance is just right. Bouquet Garni--this is my go-to blend for soups and stews. (along with the smoked paprika) Mural of Flavor, the hubs likes this on his salads, it's nice on roasted veg, and it's also very good on chicken and fish. Their bay leaves give a lovely depth of flavor to soups and stews. I split a bag with my mom once a year or so, to keep them fresh. Tellicherry extra bold peppercorns for the pepper grinder Any of their cinnamons, the flavors are so different from each other. I like the subtle and fruity Ceylon for oatmeal and anything where you are sprinkling it on top, my daughter and hubs like the Vietnamese. China is very strong and lends good flavor when baking. Their double strength vanilla is a staple for baking. Their cocoas are fabulous for hot chocolate and baked goods--my teenage daughter makes a killer chocolate muffin. For quick dinners on very busy nights, I often use the Taco Seasoning or the Chicken Taco seasonings. Apple Pie Spice--my mom uses this in her apple pies and everyone raves about them. Pumpkin Pie spice, too. Have fun! Cj...See MoreWhat's the best time of year to buy spices?
Comments (2)I think buying from a reputable supplier like Penzey's is the best way to go. I just refreshed mine from there. I doubt there is any time line to help get the newest stock. Any seller is going to put the newest behind the older so that the older is shipped until gone. But buying from a specialty company that turns their stock fast you really shouldn't have to worry. Any good company should have their own shelf life guide. When I worked for a specialty food company, we constantly watched our stock and as a store manager I kept my back stock low just before a new seasons products were due. Sometimes you just have to rely on people doing their job. Do you have a farmer's market where you could buy fresh herbs? Drying your own is about the only way to guarantee the freshness.

Comments (33)there's a Penzey's STORE not too far from me in Philly area. I'm SCARED TO DEATH to go there. have a feeling it would make Whole Paycheck... i mean Whole Foods look tame by comparison?? a few years back made several herb/spice blends as part of Christmas goodie basket gifts. could cut WAY back on salt in mixes. when you buy something like "lemon pepper" seasoning and first ingredient is SALT... what's with that?...See MoreSueb20
