Roasted Pears with Amaretti and Amaretto

Native American people made these with cornmeal dumplings, simmering them with wild grapes, which were harvested at their peak sweetness.

We don’t bake with grapes as often as we should. But even the most average supermarket varieties come alive when roasted with a bit of sugar and seasoning.

Crème de violette is an exuberantly floral violet liqueur that gives vibrant color to this fun frozen cocktail.

Gourmet’s version of this perfect summer drink mixes the ideal ratio of vodka with cranberry and grapefruit juices, right in the glass.

Cannoli and sfogliatelle require complex technique—making them is best left to the professionals. But a galette-inspired variation? That’s a snap to do at home.

Frozen into a slushy, the classic tequila and grapefruit cocktail becomes even more refreshing.

This Campari-spiked galette features the herbal aperitif, tart cherries, and floral citrus zest and is perfect for those who prefer bitter to sweet.

Tangy and sunny, this curd can be made with either fresh or frozen pulp.
