Celebrate Labor Day with the Best of Summer Pies

As the summer days pass (faster than they have any right to!), there is only one way to slow down and celebrate the last, waning days of the season: bake a pie. We're sharing some of our best summer pie and tart recipes, celebrating the best sun-kissed fruits like berries, peaches, and cherries for the sweetest Labor Day weekend treat.

Grilled Fish Tacos

Grilled fish tacos are a delightful fusion of smoky flavors and zesty freshness, perfect for an end-of-summer fiesta. The tender, charred fish wrapped in warm tortillas, topped with tangy salsa and crisp slaw, creates a mouthwatering explosion of textures.

Corn and Tomato Salad with Basil Vinaigrette

This salad is simple as summer, with the season’s biggest flavor powerhouse ingredients. Serve it as a side dish or as a main course topped with grilled shrimp or stewed beans. We love it for lunch with a slice of crusty bread to soak up the vinaigrette.

Pickled Onion and Jalapeño Relish

This relish will quickly become a refrigerator staple. Bright and acidic, this mixture of red onion and chiles is at home as flavorful garnish on tacos, but you’ll also love it mixed into the filling of deviled eggs, folded into a bright corn salad, or crushed with avocado for a brunch toast topper. Use the leftover pickling liquid as part of a brine or as the base for a vinaigrette.

Laminated dough is dough with layers of butter folded in before using. It is what makes flaky layers in puff pastry and pastries like croissants. It takes some practice, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy to prepare and fun to use!

Popular Asian Chile Sauces and Spices, If You Can Take the Heat

There was a time that high-quality and authentic ingredients from abroad were out of reach to Americans, at least without lofty import fees or expensive travel. Luckily for us, the world feels much smaller than it once did, and ingredients like specialty spices, tropical fruits, and chiles are at our fingertips.
