After the brutally hot summer we just had, you might be itching for ways to use your oven again. And because it's now fall, you might be craving more seasonal flavors. These sweet potato chips are simple to make and can be seasoned however you like. Ours have cayenne pepper and sea salt, but we think cinnamon and sugar would be delicious too.
PRESERVE THE SEASON: Garlic Confit
You've pickled things or made jam and chutneys, but have you ever tried making Garlic Confit to preserve it? To confit (cohn-fee) something (you may be used to hearing about duck confit) is to preserve it in fat. To make garlic confit, you simply poach peeled cloves of garlic in olive oil over a very low heat until they begin to break down.
