We recently read a New York Times article about the summer backyard grill and that got us thinking of new ways to enjoy Maple Pepper® Brand Seasonings. Yes, you can always grill your favorite steak or burger, but what about garden alternatives such as eggplant, cabbage, potatoes, jicama and mushrooms as suggested in the article? To all of you Maple Pepper® connoisseurs, well, you know what to do. Yes, top these grilled veggies with your favorite Maple Pepper®.

And now, on to the topic of choice today: Watermelon Hamburgers. We have customers who enjoy our seasonings on freshly sliced melons but on grilled melon? What a fabulous idea. Quoting the July 6, 2011 article, “Watermelon is not a vegetable, obviously, but it’s so wonderful when grilled that it must be included here. Grill a watermelon slice, and it dries out and sobers up, losing its sloppy sweetness, and it takes surprisingly well to savory accompaniments. Add a slice of good melting cheese, a hard roll, a few pickles and a lettuce leaf, and look out: watermelon burgers.” Wow! This puts a whole new twist on summer burgers. Hmmmm, am wondering how these watermelon burgers might taste with Maple Pepper® seasoning? You too? Let’s give it a try.

Speaking of watermelon, thoughts of grilled apples and oranges seasoned with Maple Pepper® come to mind. You never know unless you try. When you are cooking with Maple Pepper®, the possibilities are deliciously endless. Grilled marshmallows seasoned with Maple Pepper®? Now that would be a first. :-)

Maple Pepper®, pure and simple, the way life and food ought to be. Share with your family and friends and we can just about guarantee they will be coming back for more!

Happy summer to you all. Alison
