Maple Pecan Blondies

Here’s a blondie recipe that I have made many times!  Mine are never as gooey as Gemma’s and that’s probably because I over-bake them. I should keep a better eye on them next time. I like to brown the butter first but it’s not necessary. Enjoy!  Maple Pecan Blondies Makes 9-12 servings Original recipe from Bigger Bolder Baking Ingredients ¾ cup butter, melted or browned 1¼ cups dark brown sugar ½ cup maple syrup 1 large egg  2 teaspoons vanilla 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 cups all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon baking soda I ¼ cups pecans, toasted and chopped  Directions   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9x13” baking pan with parchment. Gemma used 8x8 but I like my bars thinner. Whisk together the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, egg, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the flour and baking soda just until combined.  Stir in the pecans. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. They middle should be slightly jiggly but they still taste yummy if you over-bake them. Allow to co

Imli Chatni (Indian Tamarind Sauce / Chutney)

This was a very nice sauce. First it's sweet but then you get a hint of sourness from the tamarind and the flavour of the cumin. It would be good to serve with samosas or other fried appetisers. Maybe even as a dip for chicken or wings.




Imli Chatni (Indian Tamarind Sauce / Chutney)
Original Recipe: whats4eats
Makes a little over 1 cup

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon tamarind pulp
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/8 cup raisins
  • 1/8 cup chopped dates
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
  • salt (to taste)
Directions
  1. Take the tamarind pulp and soak it in the warm water for 20 minutes.
  2. Press the mixture through a sieve to remove seeds and stems.
  3. Add all other ingredients and blend for a minute or two. Mine still had a few chunks of raisins and dates.
Tip:
  • You can find tamarind paste at Indian supermarkets but I found mine at an Asian store in the produce area right beside the whole tamarind. If you can find whole tamarind, get some, it's so yummy to have as a snack, and comes in a sweet and sour option.
