Put something different on the grill this Labor Day: a spicy peanut butter burger. Our recipe is courtesy of PB & Co., manufacturer of traditional and flavored all-natural peanut butter. For this recipe, they used “The Heat Is On,” their spicy PB, flavored with crushed red peppers, chili powder and a hint of vinegar. If you can’t pick up a jar, you can add these seasonings to your regular PB, to taste. You can use the recipe for beef, turkey or veggie burgers.
The PB adds richness and spice.If PB and burgers sounds strange to you, think of two classic dishes: chicken satay, with spicy peanut sauce (made with peanut butter); and a peanut butter and bacon sandwich.

| The U.S. Open runs through September 13. It has an official cocktail, the Honey Deuce, created by sponsor Grey Goose Vodka. If you’re watching the Open today, mix up a Honey Deuce and toast along with the crowds at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center at Flushing Meadows. You’ll save the $12 it costs at the Open, although you won’t get the souvenir cup.
Here’s the Honey Deuce recipe; it makes one drink:
Ingredients
- 1-1/4 ounces Grey Goose Vodka
- 1/2 ounce Chambord or another premium raspberry liqueur
- Lemonade (homemade is best)
- 3-4 honeydew melon balls, frozen
- Ice (crushed ice recommended)

| Preparation
1. Freeze melon balls: Place them in a the freezer in a single layer in a sealed plastic bag, for an hour or overnight.
2. Fill a chilled Collins glass with ice. Add vodka, then pour in lemonade to half an inch below the rim.
3. Sprinkle raspberry liqueur over the top of the ice, so it slowly trickles down.
3. Garnish with melon balls, speared on a long cocktail pick if you wish.

Celebrate the end of summer with this delightful cocktail. Combine one part vodka (or citrus vodka) to 1-1/2 parts puréed watermelon. Shake the ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a sprig of mint. You also can keep watermelon cubes in the freezer to purée or mix in a blender for a frozen-style drink. If you don’t have fresh watermelon, try a variation with 1 part vodka and 1/2 part DeKuyper Pucker Watermelon Schnapps—handy during the months when there’s no fresh watermelon to be had. When there is, you can use this recipe and add some crushed fresh watermelon.
