I'll trade you!

Who would have thought that spicy beer mustard would have been one of the most popular items at the Alexandria Food Swap this past weekend?

Truth be told: seven or eight excited foodies left the Friendship Firehouse with 4oz jars of really the spiciest mustard I've made to date -- this time with a bottle of Great Lakes' Dortmuder Gold and balsamic vinegar -- but I made out like a bandit! Homemade pretzels, apple fruit roll-ups, a good sized bottle of amaretto (and no idea what to use it for), peach lavender jam, chocolate covered coconut and almond clusters, rosemary popover mix, rhubarb butter, a new kombucha starter, and my favorite: dehydrated fruit and seed crackers. Yum. A girl could get used to this!


Thanks to my friend, Shelu, for organizing the homemade food extravaganza (and making those divine almond joys).

  2. Sounds like a great time! You can use amaretto for a zillion things...make amaretto stone sours, use in truffles or trifle, add a little frostings or glazes...have fun with everything! I just love seeing what people bring home from food swaps :)
