DOUBLE CHERRY RICE PUDDING P. 326
Rice, milk, sugar, mahlab and salt are cooked until it starts to thicken. Milk and egg are combined and added to the rice mixture along with dried cherries. Cook until thick and creamy. I didn’t love this and I didn’t hate it. I think slivered almonds would be a good addition. The mahlab is a new flavor for me and maybe it will grow on me. I am interested to know if anyone else has used mahlab before.
I used it in a biscotti recipe. I can’t remember if I was wowed, I’ll have to see if I made any notes on the recipe. Someone on Chowhound raved about the recipe … that’s why I was so keen on trying it, had to hunt down Mahleb.

I’m new to the canary melon we like it sweet flavor without being mushy.
I can see blueberries working nicely next time !

FRUITED FARRO SALAD P. 300
Toast farro in olive oil then add Aleppo pepper, salt and white (black) pepper and water. Simmer for 20-30 min. until liquid is absorbed. To this you add Turkish (Calif.) dried apricots, currants (raisins), red onion and cilantro. Mix and add olive oil and pomegranate molasses. This had some good flavors in it but I think the seasoning was way off. Too much salt, pepper and Aleppo pepper as well as olive oil. I keep looking at the recipe to see if I did something wildly wrong but I can’t see it.

Disappointing when that happens. Do you think you could rescue it by adding some more farro, and tweaking the seasonings?
It didn’t actually make much and there is not enough left to bother. I think this recipe has potential. I would like someone with more experience with the ingredients try it.
