P2's Spices Basic Instructions

Apples Delight – Peel and core some apples then slice.  Place in aluminum foil then sprinkle with Apples Delight and brown sugar.  Bake at 350 for 20-45 minutes until desired tenderness is achieved.  Tastes like you plucked the apples right out of a pie.

Asian 5 Spice – Used in Asian cuisine.  Marinade meat in olive oil and soy sauce then sprinkle with our Asian 5 Spice.  Add ginger of choice (fresh or dried).  Broil until desired doneness is achieved.

Beyond Pumpkin – Sprinkle on sweet potatoes, carrots, winter squash, or even pumpkin then bake as usual.  Enjoy!  Try our version of Iced Pumpkin Cookies!  Ask Pete for the recipe.

Chai – Add ¼ to ½ teaspoon to your tea, coffee, or hot chocolate (more or less to taste) or add it to your rice pudding or oatmeal.

Creole – Goes on anything; veggies, fish, pork, poultry, beef, and even scrambled eggs.  As with all of our spices, use it while cooking not after.
