Home Cooking 2026

I made a Sauerbraten with English cut beef ribs, braised in the oven for 7 hours.

This is the marinade I used. I would use this marinade again. I used a bottle of Masi red wine I was given at Xmas, the end of some red wine vinegar and some balsamic.

I didn’t feel like going out to buy gingersnaps, so I also baked my gingersnaps, which turned out pretty good. I substituted maple syrup for molasses in the King Arthur recipe.

My maple ginger snaps. They’re blonder due to the colour of the amber maple syrup I used in place of molasses.

The cookies turn out crunchier, when made with shortening, according to the recipe.

I will try a butter gingersnap next time, since I prefer the taste of cookies made with butter.
