One of my all time favorite tapitas! Croqueta's are simply a friend mass of meat or vegetables. Crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside.

Steph Chow hosted her First Annual Jam Exchange and I was so happy to have been a part of it! For this exchange I made my own Apple Pectin as well as strawberry/honey jam with a hint of chamomile.

I was sent a pint of Pineapple-Rhubarb Jam, ... continue reading...
