Adapted from a recipe in The Organic Kitchen Garden calendar (June)
While Jan and Eilene were in Hopi, I made a large pile of tamales for later meals. I served them for Father’s Day dinner and I decided to make two sauces to pour over the somewhat dry tamales. At Miriam’s request I made a mole. While I was deciding on the second sauce, Jan noticed a recipe on the kitchen calendar. As usual, I could not follow the recipe, but had to make “improvements.”
Karl’s Blackberry Salsa
Note: Every year I find—or I am gifted—a “food” related calendar for the kitchen. This years it was The Organic Kitchen Garden.
After Dinner Note: This recipe got a lot of compliments during dinner.
