I’ve been wanting to get some star anies for the rare recipe, that needs a little bit of it. But I found I couldn’t buy a small amount. So now I have a pint of it. Which means I have more than I can use in a reasonable amount of time before it goes stale.

I figured I might try to make some kind of beverage and maybe some soft candy. Any tested recipes you can recommend?

Also, the store had these $0.99 cans of cooked dried peas. Ingredients are dried peas, water and iodized salt. I’m not quite sure what to expect when I open this can. I’m picturing somebody forgot to blend the split peas soup. Do you have any ideas on how to use this?

    This is neither a beverage nor a soft candy, but my favorite anise-containing food is a German cookie, springerle.

          I’m thinking about making a clean room out of a retired refrigerator. Drop a humidifier, dehumidifier and a Johnson unit on it and use it for making cheese, curing meats and, now making cookies.
