In summer, the song sings itself.—William Carlos Williams

My friend loves what she calls my lemon “jalopy.” Of course, it’s not really called “jalopy,” nor is it technically gelato; instead it’s frozen yogurt—a mixture of yogurt, fresh lemon juice and sugar. It’s refreshing, tangy, creamy and absolutely addictive, as are the fi ve frozen yogurts in our “Skinny Dipping” story on page 16. Making frozen yogurt is worlds easier than making ice cream. There’s no custard to cook and chill—just dump yogurt, fruit and sugar in an ice cream maker and wait 20 minutes. Oh yeah, for my (uh, her) lemon “jalopy” recipe, go to relishmag.com⁄yogurt.

much for printing it.”

— Judy Ortega, Spring Valley, Calif.

Cherry Bounce For the freshest cherries possible, head to Lautenbach’s Orchard in Fish Creek, Wis., on July 24 for the Summer Harvest Fest. Then stir up some CHERRY BOUNCE, perfect for holiday gifts. By December, it will pack a real punch. Bob Lautenbach suggests combining 4 cups of pitted red tart cherries with ½ cup sugar and 1 quart of good-quality vodka in a large airtight jar or container. Set aside for at

least 1 month, occasionally tipping the jar upside down and back again to mix. The alcohol content increases the longer you let it sit. For a recipe for Cherries Jubilee, go to relishmag.com.

”“Summer SpiritsSometimes, there’s no better way to kick off a gathering on a hot summer evening than with a cool and intriguing cocktail. Here are two all-new, innovatively infused spirits—plus a time-honored one—that will help you do just that.


Gabriel Boudier Saffron Infused Gin ($30/750-ml)If you’re just wild about saffron, give this captivating gin a try. Developed from a historic recipe rediscovered in the archives of the Gabriel Boudier Company in Dijon, France, the deeply spicy spirit spotlights the flavor of saffron among other botanical ingredients, including juniper, coriander and citrus peels. Use it to lend a refreshingly spicy-bitter angle to cocktails.

CHERRY SAFFRON SOUR 1 ½ ounces Gabriel Boudier Saffron Infused Gin ¾ ounce fresh lemon juice ½ ounce cherry brandy ½ ounce simple syrup

Wini Moranville guides you to the best spiritsfor the price.

1. Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a Maraschino cherry.

▲

SKYY Infusions Ginger ($26.49/1.0-liter)Move over fruit-flavored vodka, and make room on the shelf for this beguiling bottle. The natural flavor of ginger lends a fresh, sweet and subtly exotic layer to this premium vodka. Try it mixed with fruit juices or other mixers in tall drinks. Or shake it up on ice for a dashing martini-style cocktail, like this Pink Ginger Martini.

PINK GINGER MARTINI 2 ounces SKYY Infusions Ginger vodka 1 ounce fresh lime juice ½ ounce grenadine syrup

▲

Campari ($28/750-ml)Flavoring spirits with herbs and spices is nothing new; in fact, one of today’s best-known cases in point—the incomparable Campari—turns 150 this year. Created in 1860 by Italian barman Gaspare Campari, this refreshingly bitter, ruby-red aperitif is flavored by a top-secret blend of herbs, spices and fruit peels. Serve Campari either on the rocks or with club soda (1 part Campari to 2 parts soda) to showcase its spicy, bitter-orange flavor at its brightest, summer-worthy best.

Cook-cab -u-lar-yIsraeli couscous (KOOS-koos) has a history that speaks to both politics and

palate. In the years immediately following the creation of modern Israel, the infant state was flooded with immigrants whose native diets depended on rice—a rare commodity in that emerging, food-strapped nation. David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s first prime minister, challenged a leading food manufacturer to develop a wheat-based substitute. The company answered with a rice-shaped pasta, similar to orzo.

Nicknamed “Ben-Gurion’s rice,” the pasta was immensely popular. Eventually, it took the rounded shape you’ll find in supermarkets today. In Israel, its name, ptitim afuyim, translates as “baked flakes.” In the United States, you’ll find it marketed as “Israeli couscous,” “Jerusalem couscous” or “pearl couscous.”

Israeli couscous is a completely flour-based pasta, made of hard-wheat flour, shaped into spheres, then oven-toasted. Pearls are roughly the size of a peppercorn and cook in about 5 minutes.

Enthusiasts love its slightly toasty flavor and tapioca-like mouth feel. In Israel, it’s a popular children’s dish flavored with tomato paste, but it lends itself to many grown-up dishes, like the Mediterranean Couscous Salad on page 12.

Make a quick stovetop casserole by sautéing onions and garlic, then adding dry Israeli couscous with a little broth, tossing in olives, artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes and feta cheese. Unlike traditional couscous, it won’t clump together in salads. It makes an eye-catching base for a platter of fish or lamb. And die-hard fans have it for breakfast, simmered in milk or juice along with a cinnamon stick. —Jo Marshall

Tuscan-Rubbed Salmon

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning 1 teaspoon sweet paprika ½ teaspoon ground coriander ½ teaspoon ground fennel 1 ¼ teaspoons ground black pepper ¾ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon garlic powder 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

1. Prepare grill.2. Combine all ingredients except salmon and olive oil in a bowl.3. Brush each salmon fi llet with about 1 teaspoon oil.4. Press spice mixture on skinless side of salmon. Let stand 15 minutes.5. Place salmon skin side up on grill grate. Cover grill. Cook over high heat about 3 minutes. Flip and cook, skin side down, 5 more minutes or until done but still red in the center. The grilling time depends on the heat of your grill and the thickness of the fi llet.6. Serve with Orange-Fennel Relish. Serves 4.

almon is most definitely the perfect fish for the grill. Its meaty texture keeps it intact; its healthy oils keep it moist in the face of the grill’s searing heat; and its full flavors hold up to the intensity of the char—not to mention, its fresh red hues are super inviting. It’s also widely available and economical. I like to coat it with a flavorful rub and serve with a cooling relish. Here are some tips for grilling it. S

Orange-Fennel RelishUse a whole chopped orange. Cut off as much of the peel and white pith as possible. 1 cup chopped, peeled orange 1 cup chopped fennel bulb 2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped 3 tablespoons finely diced red onion ¼ cup pitted kalamata olives, cut into halves 1 tablespoon minced parsley 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons lemon juice ¼ teaspoon black pepper1. Combine orange, fennel, tomatoes, onion, olives and parsley. Combine oil, lemon juice and pepper, whisking well. Add to orange mixture, tossing gently. Let stand several hours before serving.Makes 2½ cups. Serves 5.Per (1/2-cup) serving: 70 calories, 4g fat, 0mg chol., 1g prot., 9g carbs., 2g fi ber, 100mg sodium.

Grilled Salmon

Oil it up. While fattier fish, like salmon, stick less to the grill, the fact is that all fish have a tendency to stick to the grate. To prevent this, dry the salmon well with a paper towel and coat the fillet with a small amount of oil just before grilling.

Clean it up. If the grates are not pristinely clean—you guessed it—the salmon could still stick or fall apart. Scrape the grates until nothing is left on them. Then, rapidly brush a lightly dampened cotton (not nylon-based) rag over the grates to remove all the debris that was loosened by the brush.

Heat it up. A really hot grill prevents sticking and creates delicious char marks quickly so the salmon does not overcook. You can always lower

the heat later on in the cooking process if necessary.

Cook it up. As salmon fillets cook quickly over high heat, it’s easy to overcook them. Watch the doneness closely. They’re best when the center is still a touch medium rare and dark pink.

ected by HPV disease.

There are over 30 types of human papillomavirus (HPV) that will affect an estimated 75% to 80% of males and females in their lifetime. For most, HPV clears on its own. But, for 30 women a day in the US (about 11,000 women a year), certain types of HPV lead to cervical cancer.

Other types of HPV can cause genital warts in both males and females. It is estimated that each minute in the US, there is a new case of genital warts.

GARDASIL is the only HPV vaccine that helps protect against 4 types of HPV. In girls and young women ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against 2 types of HPV that cause about 75% of cervical cancer cases, and 2 more types that cause 90% of genital warts cases. In boys and young men ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against 90% of genital warts cases.

GARDASIL may not fully protect everyone. GARDASIL does not prevent all types of cervical cancer, so it’s important for women to continue routine cervical cancer screenings. GARDASIL does not treat cervical cancer or genital warts. GARDASIL is given as 3 injections over 6 months.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Anyone who is allergic to the ingredients of GARDASIL, including those severely allergic to yeast, should not receive the vaccine. GARDASIL is not for women who are pregnant.

The side effects include pain, swelling, itching, bruising, and redness at the injection site, headache, fever, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and fainting. Fainting can happen after getting GARDASIL. Sometimes people who faint can fall and hurt themselves. For this reason, your health care professional may ask your child to sit or lie down for 15 minutes after your child gets GARDASIL. Some people who faint might shake or become stiff. This may require evaluation or treatment by your health care professional.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088. Please see the Patient Information on the next page to discuss it with your child’s doctor or health care professional.

and vulvar lesions The diseases listed above have many causes,

and GARDASIL only protects against diseases caused by certain kinds of HPV (called Type 6, Type 11, Type 16, and Type 18). Most of the time, these 4 types of HPV are responsible for the diseases listed above.

GARDASIL cannot protect you from a disease that is caused by other types of HPV, other viruses, or bacteria.

GARDASIL does not treat HPV infection. You cannot get HPV or any of the above

diseases from GARDASIL.GARDASIL is used for boys and men 9 through 26 years of age to help protect against genital warts.

You will need 3 shots given on the following schedule: • Dose 1: at a date you and your health care provider

choose. • Dose 2: 2 months after Dose 1. • Dose 3: 6 months after Dose 1.

Make sure that you get all 3 doses on time so that you get the best protection. If you miss a dose, talk to your health care provider.

Banana Split S’Mores

6 bananas, in the skin ½ cup chocolate chips ½ cup mini marshmallows 6 large graham crackers

1. Set or light your grill to medium heat, or build a small campfi re. 2. Make a long slit in each banana from end to end, through the skin and down to, but not through, the skin on the other side. Gently push in on either end to open the banana. Divide chocolate chips and mini marshmallows among bananas, pressing with your fi ngers to fi t as much as possible. (It’s OK if the banana smushes a bit). 3. Wrap each banana in aluminum foil and place on the center of grill or around perimeter of fi re. Cook 5 minutes, or until chips and marshmallows are melted and banana is warm. Serve immediately with graham crackers for dipping. Serves 6.


Pick-Up Sticks’m not much of a camper, but I love cooking over an outside fire. So instead of heading out into the woods to do my cooking, I bring the campfire cookout to my backyard.

An open fire isn’t a great option for my family. My sister and I live together and between us, have eight kids, ranging in age from 2 to 11. So I build my “campfire” in a charcoal grill, using both

charcoal and wood so the kids get a real campfire experience. (You could also use a gas grill, which provides plenty of heat but no fire.)

These recipes require a small amount of kitchen prep, but all are cooked completely over the fire—something the kids will love to help with, from finding their own perfect stick to sprinkling sweet cinnamon sugar on their “snakes.” You may never go camping again.

By Keri Fisher, a food writer inVillanova, Pa.

IHold the ice cream . . . . . . and try any of these tucked inside a banana on the grill: Brie or goat cheese, honey, almonds, white chocolate, caramel sauce, dried cranberries, dulce de leche, candied ginger, gingersnaps and coconut.

Snakes on a Stick If the kids get tired of holding the “snakes” over the fi re, you can just brown them over the fi re quickly and then fi nish cooking over a cooler part of the grill. (If you have a gas grill, the top rack is a good place for this.) Also try other seasonings on the snakes, such as Cajun seasonings, garlic salt and red pepper fl akes.

2 (11-ounce) packages refrigerated bread stick dough 4 tablespoons melted butter, divided ½ cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese Cinnamon sugar (1 tablespoon sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon)

1. Set or light your grill to medium-high heat, or build a small campfi re. 2. Divide dough into 24 pieces. Roll each piece into a thin rope about 10 inches long. Brush pieces with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Wrap each “snake” around a stick at least 24 inches long, leaving at least 16 inches at the end for holding. Pinch the ends of dough onto sticks or pierce the end of rope and then wrap around stick.3. Hold sticks over heat and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown and fi rm, about 10 minutes. Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons butter and sprinkle half the snakes with Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and half with cinnamon sugar. Return to fi re until topping is melted and browned, about 2 minutes longer. Serve immediately. Yield: 24 “snakes.”

Skinny DippingFruity frozen yogurts are packed with fl avor. Just stir, freeze and scoop.

ere are five refreshing frozen yogurts that are full of flavor, not fat. They’re easy to make, too. Unlike homemade ice cream, which requires a custard that must be chilled, frozen yogurts are a cinch to make. Simply whisk the yogurt, sugar and fruit together, and freeze. All you need is an ice cream maker. (We like the electric models that come with canisters to keep in the freezer.) Pour the

yogurt mixture in, and the machine does the work. We first combined the sugar and fruit and let the mixture stand for about 30 minutes, then mixed in the yogurt, but that’s not absolutely necessary.

HThese frozen yogurts are best eaten just out of the ice cream freezer when they’re soft and creamy.

1. MIX all ingredients together in a bowl. 2. FREEZE in an ice cream freezer following manufacturer’s instructions.3. SERVE immediately or transfer to a freezer container and freeze.

Note: For the Cherry Cheesecake Frozen Yogurt, be sure the cream cheese is very soft, then whisk it together with the yogurt and lemon juice.

Also, read the leafl et you get each time you refi ll SINGULAIR, since there may be new information in the leafl et since the last time you saw it. This leafl et does not take the place of talking with your doctor about your medical condition and/or your treatment.

What is SINGULAIR*?

• SINGULAIR is a medicine called a leukotriene receptor antagonist. It works by blocking substances in the body called leukotrienes. Blocking leukotrienes improves asthma and allergic rhinitis. SINGULAIR is not a steroid. Studies have shown that SINGULAIR does not affect the growth rate of children. (See the end of this leafl et for more information about asthma and allergic rhinitis.)

SINGULAIR is prescribed for the treatment of asthma, the prevention of exercise-induced asthma, and allergic rhinitis:

1. Asthma.SINGULAIR should be used for the long-term management of asthma in adults and children ages 12 months and older.

The side effects of SINGULAIR are usually mild, and generally did not cause patients to stop taking their medicine. The side effects in patients treated with SINGULAIR were similar in type and frequency to side effects in patients who were given a placebo (a pill containing no medicine).

Less common side effects that have happened with SINGULAIR include: • increased bleeding tendency • allergic reactions [including swelling of the face, lips,

tongue, and/or throat (which may cause trouble breathing or swallowing), hives and itching]

Tell your doctor if you experience behavior or mood-related changes while taking SINGULAIR.

Rarely, asthmatic patients taking SINGULAIR have experienced a condition that includes certain symptoms that do not go away or that get worse. These occur usually, but not always, in patients who were taking steroid pills by mouth for asthma and those steroids were being slowly lowered or stopped. Although SINGULAIR has not been shown to cause this condition, you must tell your doctor right away if you get one or more of these symptoms: • a feeling of pins and needles or numbness of arms or legs • a fl u-like illness • rash • severe infl ammation (pain and swelling) of the sinuses

(sinusitis)

These are not all the possible side effects of SINGULAIR. For more information ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Talk to your doctor if you think you have side effects from taking SINGULAIR.

White Beans with Sun-Dried Tomato VinaigretteThis recipe was inspired by one from Joyce Goldstein’s Mediterranean Fresh (W. W. Norton, 2008). To make it a main dish salad, add shrimp or sliced beef and toss it all together. When I have fresh cherry tomatoes in my garden, I toss them in as well. The salad is equally brilliant cold or room temperature, on a picnic or poolside.

Vinaigrette: ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato-infused oil (from jar of sun-dried tomatoes) 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar ¼ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes ¼ teaspoon kosher salt Coarsely ground black pepper

Beans: 2 (16-ounce) cans cannellini or great northern beans, rinsed and drained ⅓ cup diced red onion 2 garlic cloves, minced 6 basil leaves, chopped 1 ounce grated manchego or Romano cheese

1. To prepare vinaigrette, whisk together all ingredients in small bowl.2. To prepare beans, place beans in a large bowl. Pour vinaigrette over beans. Let stand at least an hour. Add onion, garlic, basil and cheese just before serving. Makes 3 ½ cups. Serves 6.


Summer SaladSteaks on the grill are great, but it’s the sides I get most excited about, like this white bean salad, lush with fresh basil from my garden. Add a steak with a sweet basting sauce, and it’s dinner.

Maple-Pepper Steaks

½ cup maple syrup ¼ cup olive oil 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme 4 garlic cloves, peeled ½ teaspoon kosher salt 4 (6-ounce) beef tenderloin steaks (1 ½-inches thick)

1. Combine all ingredients (except beef) in blender; process until well blended. Combine beef with half the sauce; let stand 30 minutes to 4 hours. Remove beef from marinade, discarding marinade. Cook beef in grill pan or on grill, basting with remaining sauce. Serves 4.Per serving: 220 calories, 12g fat, 75mg chol., 28g prot., 14g carbs., 0g fi ber, 220mg sodium.
