Most kids like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, especially if they are cut into fun shapes. Of course, you can make any flavor of sandwich and cut them into any shape. This is a quick and easy snack for parties, adding some substantial food to the treat table while still sticking to the party theme.
Ebleskiver are similar to the American version of pancakes except that they seem to be lighter and fluffier due to the egg whites being beaten into stiff peaks. I like to make an assortment of flavors when I make ebleskiver, leaving some plain and filling the others with a variety of ingredients.
In my mind, homemade berry jam is in another league than store-bought variations. And I love how fresh the freezer versions taste compared to the cooked and canned jellies. Each bite transports me to the berry patch as I taste the freshly-picked berries and remember all of the fun berry-picking excursions with my grandma and mom when I was little.
Berry butter takes me back to my childhood, spending summers at the lake. We would have berry butter made with freshly-picked raspberries, strawberries and blackberries. It is colorful, rich, creamy and makes a festive spread for breakfasts and snacks.
