Independence Day

On the biggest grilling day of the year, serve cookout classics with a twist. For a quick and easy appetizer, add smoked oysters to deviled eggs and pack briny ocean flavor in every bite. Give traditional hot dogs an extra boost of flavor and sophistication by scoring them before grilling, creating more surface area for browning. A summery tomato, cucumber and grilled corn salad can be made and refrigerated ahead of time. Finish the meal with a fast and simple blueberry peach crumble featuring a surprising hint of ginger and nutmeg, and enjoy these fireworks for your tastebuds.
