Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

Found this recipe after a botched attempt to freeze pears, then make a tart out of them. Turned out BEAUTIFULLY! Thank you so much :)

This is delicious served with fresh-baked apple pie...I served it at an autumn harvest party and it was the hit of the entire menu. It has a caramelized pear taste that would go perfectly with a variety of desserts--fruit pastries, chocolate, or even fresh fruit. The pear flavor is amazing!!!
