Rum Caramel Apple

Rum Caramel Apple

They sat at the end cap - between bins of waxed Red Delicious and Granny Smiths. Shiny yellow envelopes of flattened caramel wrappers, what I believed, at the time, was the magic needed to bring the fairgrounds into our living room. Later, I learned I could melt caramel bouillon (what I called the Brach's bin caramels) in the microwave and get nearly the same results. That's about where I left them, save for cakes and pastries that married the two flavors in a very grown-up way. I rarely went back to the basic caramel apple snack until recently.


Homemade Vanilla with Small Batch Rum

Homemade Vanilla

A while ago my good friend Emma saw a variety pack of vanilla beans at a terrific price. Given that neither of us were professional (or even pretend) bakers any longer, we didn't have need for giant amounts of vanilla beans, but the price was good and we decided that splitting 4 dozen beans was worth it for a measley $12. Sure, some of the beans were lower grade, but some weren't - and in the end they turned out to be a terrific deal.
