Food52I know it's easy to hate on pumpkin spice lattes, but let's be real—we all secretly love the combo of warm spices with bitter coffee. There’s actually no pumpkin in pumpkin spice. (Whoa!) It’s just the spices traditionally added to pumpkin pie, like ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. And even if you aren’t a fan of the drink, it’s humanly impossible to resist these cozy, chewy caramels. Making caramel doesn't have to be scary. Just keep these pointers in mind. Get the right hardware: Use a heavy-bottomed pot that's high and tight. A wider pot makes it harder for the sugar to melt evenly, with more surface area for unwanted crystallization (aka messed-up caramel). Know when to stir: In the beginning, stir with a fork to dissolve any sugar clumps and to force yourself to make small movements. This will minimize the amount of syrup that gets splashed on the walls of the pot, which could lead to crystallization. Keep it covered: Once the sugar mostly dissolves, put a lid on it! The steam from the syrup will condense on the lid and roll down the walls of the pan, washing away any rogue sugar crystals without the need for a pastry brush or any work on your part. Treat this recipe as a guide to learn more about caramel. Then go off script! Steep different aromatics in the cream to change up the flavor: sage or thyme, black tea or lavender, bay leaf or ancho chile. Add ½ cup more cream to make a caramel sauce instead. Cook the caramel to 250°F to 255°F for the perfect consistency to coat apples. Try different toppings, like chopped nuts, dried rose petals, or cocoa powder.

The beans and lentils, cilantro (fresh leaf), tomato and pasta of some sort. This is my own recipe based on ingredients and flavors which I enjoyed from other hariras. Harira is eaten all year, not only at Ramadan though it would not be Ramadan without it! This soup along with others is used traditionally for breakfast at sunset. This would be a first course served with accompaniments and bread before moving on to heavier foods. Many break fast with milk and dates; a very old tradition and I doubt that they knew way back when that the combination of natural sugar and the milk protein were a near perfect combination. Some find this a bit too rough for the first thing in the stomach. While harira is the national soup of Morocco, history tells that this is not a Moroccan invention but an invention of the Maghreb of which Morocco is a part. This recipe may look truly daunting though it really isn't. In our house the first course on the table is always either harira, chorba, or one of my stews; usually chicken, dates, pistachios and fruit. Then after that settles we move on to a normal main course without the use of garlic as it is forbidden during Ramadan. Before bed we will usually have a pot of tea and a rice pudding, dessert couscous or just the tea. Shebakia, the very honey sweet special Ramadan sesame cookies are always here though we prefer to have them with coffee and not necessarily daily.
