A little twist on a French classic, Cherry Clafoutis with White Chocolate made with the last of the summer cherries, the swan song of summer. It won’t be long before we’re awash with pumpkins and apples as the kids head back to school and sweaters emerge from storage. But let’s not talk about that, let’s stay with summer a little bit longer and chat about cherries.
The end of summer draws near and fresh corn stands dot the urban landscape. Ripe and juicy, ears of corn, wrapped tightly in their husks, make it home to be quickly boiled, buttered and devoured, the leftovers turned into Fresh Summer Cornbread.

Our barbecue essentials list continues with a wicked Smokey Jack Daniels Ketchup and a bit of Jack Smoke that gave our Father’s Day barbecue a whole lot of Kentucky kick.
