Recipes and Tips

New Cookbook Request:  We have more than three dozen new recipes, but we still need more as we put together the second cookbook that features the best family recipes from our wonderful guests here at the Carriage Way.  The cookbook will have one recipe on a page and we would like you to provide a short story that complements the recipe.  Send us only your best and if we print your recipe, we will send you a complimentary copy. Thank you Bev and Duane for the Christmas Custard Recipe

This recipe is great for the Strawberry season.

Diane's Honey and Cream Fruit Dressing

1 c. sour cream

1/3 cup honey

2 T. Orange Juice

Fruit

Mix and add more honey until you do not taste the sour cream.  Pour over fruit.  For example:  Strawberries and bananas, pears and apples or you can get creative.

Cleaning tip:  Tomato based products have a tendency to stain plastic containers.  In order to keep your plastic containers from getting stained from the tomato base, rub the inside with vegetable oil before placing the sauce in the container.

Inn the Know:

The Colonial Quater on St. George Street has reopened with a new face and an exciting journey through Colonial St. Augustine along with two new restaurants.  Watch for more information.

The Picasso: Art and Arena Exhibit will be displayed at the St. Augustine Visitor Information Center (2 blocks North of Carriage Way) until May 11th.
