Fresh Horseradish Beet Relish aka Chrain

  Contributed by Rachael, Ancesister @ Ancestreats. I can’t imagine eating a fish course without this condiment: a traditional accompaniment of beet-horseradish relish called Chrain (Yiddish: חריין, khreyn). Lots of general supermarkets carry this pre-made item in the section near the refrigerated hot dogs and pickles. However, if you were to get stuck somewhere, like I did in Albuquerque, unable to find it in stock … Continue reading Fresh Horseradish Beet Relish aka Chrain

The Blintz BOMB! My Holy Grail of Blintzes

Contributed by Rachael, Ancesister @ Ancestreats. First, a few words about blintzes (say: blint-ZEZ or blint-ZEES).

Bourbon Punch Slushies

Recipe shared by Rachael, Ancesister @ Ancestreats. On a hot summer evening, is there anything better than sitting with a slushy refreshment to cool you off? Yes. You add bourbon to it. As a child, I enjoyed time-frozen moments while scraping down a cherry Italian ice* with a small flat wooden paddle and while biting into a shaved-ice soaked with blue, green, and red syrups.  Now … Continue reading Bourbon Punch Slushies
