Snack up plan

Devin Connell, founder of the fabulous food website Crumb (thisiscrumb.com), gives us a peek inside her pantry to see what’s on hand for holiday snacking.

Lingonberry Preserves

Sylt Lingon Lingonberry Preserves, 400 g,

$4.29, ikea.com

“My mom lived in Sweden as a child, so she gives me a few jars every time she stocks up at Ikea. It’s great with stronger cheeses, or puréed and mixed with Prosecco for a twist on a Kir Royale.”

Kettle Yogurt & Green Onion Potato Chips

“They’re the perfect snack on their own, but you can make one of my fave easy holiday apps: potato chip canapés! Just top with whipped cream cheese, smoked trout or salmon, and chives.”

Planters Dry Roasted Peanuts

“Serving peanuts in a posh little dish with a spoon just like they do in the fancy bars in London makes something humble feel kind of special.”

Italian Chickpea Flour

Antico Mulino Chickpea Flour, 500 g, $3.99, metro.ca

“I use chickpea flour to make farinata, two-ingredient savoury pancakes that take minutes to whip up. I slice them into thin wedges and sprinkle with minced rosemary and Maldon salt.”

Dried Apricots

“Apricots are great on their own and even better when paired with something salty. For a classy take on Devils on Horseback, wrap them with a sage leaf in prosciutto, brush with olive oil, and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 10 minutes.”
