EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Hard to believe, but macadamia nuts were once grown only for decorative purposes. Luckily, someone discovered that these buttery, slightly sweet nuts are good to eat, too!

Ripe bananas make the most flavorful banana bread.

Home made butter: It's heavy cream that has been agitated in a container until it turns to butter. You can rinse it in cold water while working it (kneading) if you like. Then you can work salt into it if you wish. We used to do this with just a quart jar. Best to have more than one person do it because your arms get tired shaking the jar. In the old days people used to use a churn with a paddle in it to mix the cream. I think you can even still buy 2 gallon jars with a built in paddle with a wheel to help save your arms. Haven't tried the recipe yet but plan to as I love everything that's in it. I may add some pineapple, too.
