With the start of summer right around the corner, your schedule is probably filling up with invites to pool parties, cookouts and plans to enjoy the outdoors. Here at Nielsen-Massey, we want your next outing to be a step above the rest. To ensure you get the most out of the season, we compiled a list of ways you can elevate your favorite summer activities with some addictively delicious recipes!
Pool parties are a summer staple that will never go out of style, and they’re the perfect way to cool off from the intense heat. Take your party up a notch with our delicious Mango Ginger Faux Mimosa. This mocktail will keep you refreshed and hydrated all day with a zesty combination of ginger ale, Pure Orange Extract and mango sorbet. Plus, it can be enjoyed by all ages. For a large gathering, we recommend making ahead of time for easy poolside sippin’.
Seasonal fruits and veggies will be abundant at your local farmer’s market. Keep an eye out for plump blueberries and try your hand at making this Blueberry-Vanilla Bean Refrigerator Jam. Enjoy as a sweet yet tart addition to toast or scones or add as a vibrant topping to cheesecake, ice cream or frozen yogurt.
Cookouts are all the rage during summer, but there’s one way to make yours stand out from the typical sea of hamburgers and hotdogs. Generously brush our Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste onto mild-flavored fish before placing on a high-heat grill. The sugar in the paste will caramelize and create a thin casing to help seal in moisture while the complex, mellow flavor of the vanilla will shine through.
Every weekend camping trip or nature hike requires a filling snack that is both portable and energizing. Escape the hustle and bustle with a handful of this Blueberry Vanilla Granola. It features a blend of fruits, nuts and oats and takes 10 minutes to prepare while packing for your excursion the night before.
