Baileys Scrumptious Salted Caramel ~ Holiday Cocktail
Baileys Scrumptious Salted Caramel ~ Holiday Cocktail
We just found Baileys Scrumptious Salted Caramel at our local package store.
I LOVE anything Caramel.
I added the Baileys to Hot Coffee
Topped with Whipped Cream
and drizzled on Ghirardelli Sea Salt Caramel Sauce.
It was delicious. It hit the spot on this cold and gloomy afternoon.
Happy Holidays!!
ENJOY! Cheers!!

Radish Sprouts in a Mason Jar ~ Step by Step Instructions ~ Sprouting for Beginners
I started Sprouting over 3 years ago. It's very rewarding. The Sprouts taste great and are easy to grow.
In this video I will show you step by step directions on how to grow Radish Sprouts in a Mason Jar.
The Radish Seeds I use:
Rainbow Radish Sprouting Seeds Mix | Heirloom Non-GMO Seeds for Sprouting & Microgreens | Contains Red Arrow, Purple Triton & White Daikon Radish Seeds 1 lb. Resealable Bag | Rainbow Heirloom Seed Co.
Video Chapters ~ Radish Sprouts
0:00 Intro ~ How to Sprout Radish Sprouts in a Mason Jar
0:13 Mason Jar I use ~ 24 Ounce Dark Brown Jars
0:33 Screen Top for Mason Jars or use Cheesecloth with an Elastic
0:56 Soak Day ~ View of the Radish Seeds ~ Place 2 TBL in the Jar ~ Fill halfway with water ~ Rinse seeds to remove any particles ~ Then strain water
1:21 Radish Seeds have been rinsed ~ Fill jar halfway to three quarters full with water ~ Soak for 12 Hours or Overnight
1:33 I number each jar ~ Using Duct Tape as a label
1:43 Day 1 of Radish Sprouts ~ Seeds have soaked 12 Hours ~ Drain Water and rinse ~ View of Seeds
1:57 I use a Plate Holder to hold the Mason Jar at an angle upside down ~ Place in a small bowl
2:26 Day 1 of Radish Sprouts ~ Leave for 12 Hours ~ Repeat rinse/drain/back in holder bowl
2:44 Rinse Sprouts twice a day ~ Approximately 12 hours apart
2:59 Day 2 Repeat process rinse/drain/back in holder-bowl ~ Twice a day
3:34 Day 3 of Radish Sprouts ~ Repeat process rinse/drain/back in holder bowl ~ Twice a day
3:54 Day 4 of Radish Sprouts ~ Repeat process rinse/drain/back in holder bowl ~ Twice a day
4:15 Day 5 of Radish Sprouts ~ Repeat process rinse/drain/back in holder bowl ~ Twice a day
4:37 Leave jar on Counter out of direct Sunlight
4:49 Day 6 of Radish Sprouts ~ Repeat process rinse/drain/back in holder bowl ~ Twice a day ~ Takes 5-7 days to Sprout the Radishes ~ The Temperature can affect how fast or slow they Sprout
5:03 Test taste the Radish Sprouts starting at day 5 ~ To check their taste and how long you want them to be ~ Personal preference how long you would like them to Sprout
5:16 Day 6 Harvest the Radish Sprouts ~ Place the Sprouts in a Salad Spinner ~ Fill with Water ~ Rinse and Drain ~ This helps remove a lot of the Hulls. There will still be some hulls left, they are ok to eat. If your don't have a Salad Spinner use a Strainer
5:42 Repeat Salad Spinner 2 more times and Spin Dry
6:31 Day 6 After you Spin the Sprouts, place them on a few Paper Towels by a Sunny Window for 30 minutes to help them dry further and they will green up a little more
6:55 Place the Dry Radish Sprouts in a Container lined with Paper Towels
7:05 I don't use cloth towels for the Sprouts as I don't want the scent of Laundry Soup or Fabric Softener to get on the Sprouts
7:16 Label the Container and place in the Refrigerator ~ Sprouts last refrigerator 5-7 days (Always check to make sure they aren't slimy or smell bad)
7:27 My favorite lunch ~ I use my Homemade Flax Seed Crackers ~ Link below ~ Spread the Crackers with some Hummus ~ Top with Radish Sprouts ~ Serve with Cheese and Veggies
7:42 Radish Sprouts are delicious in Salads and Sandwiches
