The liquified version of sugar is super easy to make and comes in handy in so many recipes. We use simple syrup in a lot of recipes, especially over Pesach.

Meltaway Babka for Pesach
This gluten free babka from Simply Pesach and Beyond goes on your must-bake list this Pesach. Editor’s Note: After Renee Muller styled the photos for Rivky Kleiman’s Simply Pesach and Beyond, she told the rest of us, “We must feature the Meltaway Babka on Between Carpools. Rivky is a genius.” She had tasted it, and…
Nina’s Pesach Cookies
These cookies are the first thing you should bake for Pesach This is the cookie that I look forward to on Pesach each year. It’s absolutely perfect and not in any way “Pesachdig” tasting.

Because, these muffins are…
Pesach Barbecue Sauce
Make a double (or triple) batch and use this BBQ sauce over and over again this Passover. There was one Pesach where I resolved: I am no longer going to experiment with meats for Pesach. The most popular main I made each year was simply whatever type of meat I served with this sauce. There’s…
Kosher for Pesach Beef Jerky
Yes, you can make kosher for passover beef jerky with one simple ingredient swap. Pineapple juice is the secret ingredient that will tenderize your meat. Often, when discussing Pesach content, my colleagues sometimes express in astonishment, “They make [insert name of ingredient] for Pesach?!?” The truth is, we’ve really tried over the years, to stick…
