Welcome to cyberTRUNK Recipes!

Over the past two decades or so, I have assembled a vast array of recipes, particularly those that have become favorites with friends and family. My long term goal was to publish a cookbook to pass these tried and true favorites on. That idea started before blogs. So, I have created this blogsite where I can share these culinary tidbits. I hope you find something that you and your family embrace! I look forward to hearing from you as well! Thanks for checking out my cyberTRUNK Recipes!

    I have been asked what to do with this savory garden marmalade. So, here is my SERVING SUGGESTION - Serve this delicious savory marmalade with crackers and cream cheese. Once your guests try it once, they won't be able to stop... and before you know it, your garden marmalade will be long gone. Try it and let me hear how you like it, as well as any ideas you have for serving it! Enjoy! DavidLee
