Onion Creek Kitchens

Onion Creek Kitchens at Juniper Hills Farms is located in the beautiful rolling hills just Southwest of Austin and just North of San Antonio, Texas. This area, known as the "Hill Country", is surrounded by Juniper Ashe and Oak covered hills, interrupted only by rock outcroppings, crisscrossing creeks and big sky. The Farm has become a place of sanctuary, serenity and sanity for all who come here.

We want you to feel the tranquility that this place evokes. Well appointed, comfortable cabins are available for weekend getaways. Custom designed retreats can be booked so that small groups can enjoy cooking classes or just relaxing and exploring the Hill Country. Reconnect with some friends. Treat yourself to a weekend of peace and quiet with nature walks and wildlife watching. Indulge yourself with a massage and a sauna. Recharge your mind. Learn how to cook something new.

Juniper Hills Farm is the home of Sibby Barrett. Join Sibby as she welcomes you to Juniper Hills Farm and Onion Creek Kitchens. Sibby is a born and raised true Texan, spending most of her 48 years in Dallas and some of her childhood growing up in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Her interest in food and cooking sprung from some of these early childhood experiences in Mexico. The mercados, the street vendors, the colors, the smells, all left a strong impression. She also credits her father for a lot of her cooking style today. He exposed her to a variety of ethnic cuisines and shared his love of bold and spicy foods early on.

Sibby now brings her culinary passions to the Texas Hill Country. In 2001, shortly after her ranch home, Juniper Hills Farm, was completed, Sibby began facilitating Yoga retreats and cooking weekends. In her own "Onion Creek Kitchens" she now offers a full curriculum of cooking classes. She is currently authoring a cookbook of collected class favorites and has just launched a new line of food products under the Onion Creek Kitchens label.

Recipe

PUMPKIN PIE PECANS
(Recipe: Onion Creek Kitchens)

These pecans are wonderful to have on hand during the holidays. They are great sprinkled on top of a bit of whipped cream on holiday pies, on sweet potato casseroles and just for snacking on with a glass of Champagne. Put them in a bag with a pretty bow, and you've got a great little hostess gift.

Ingredients:
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
2 cups pecan halves

Directions:
Preheat oven to 275°

Mix spices together-cloves through sugar and set aside.  Mix egg white with water and whisk to a frothy texture with a fork.  Add pecans and toss well to coat. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.  Spread pecans on pan and bake for 1 hour, stirring and turning sheet pan two or three times during baking time. Remove from oven; loosen pecans from paper and let cool thoroughly on paper.
