By that I mean a family that does not easily substitute new trends for old habits. Instead, we hold dearly onto old traditions passed down from generation to generation. We keep up with the ones my great grandmother shared with my grandmother and ultimately my parents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">In recent years, I have come to realize that many in my close circle tend to either call some of these practices obsolete or simply be unaware of their existence. As far as I know, only a few local families still adhere to every single one of them like we do. Most seem to have forgotten about them as they embraced new trends and fads. Many of these traditions are, of course, deeply rooted in food. And since I come from a long family line of home chefs, you best bet we put together quite a few feasts through the years.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The peak of our celebrations takes place around the end and beginning of each year.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">On <a href=\"http:\/\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/haitian-christmas-dinner\/\">December 25<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">, January 1<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">st<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"> and 2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">nd<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">, all local Holidays, we gather for a formal meal.

call a \u201ctraditional\u201d Haitian family. By that I mean a family that does not easily substitute new trends for old habits. Instead, we hold dearly onto old traditions passed down from generation to generation. We keep up with the ones my great grandmother shared with my grandmother and ultimately my parents.\u00a0 In recent years, I have come to realize that many in my close circle tend to either call some of these practices obsolete or simply be unaware of their existence. As far as I know, only a few local families still adhere to every single one of them like we do. Most seem to have forgotten about them as they embraced new trends and fads. Many of these traditions are, of course, deeply rooted in food. And since I come from a long family line of home chefs, you best bet we put together quite a few feasts through the years. The peak of our celebrations takes place around the end and beginning of each year.\u00a0 On December 25th, January 1st and 2nd, all local Holidays, we gather for a formal meal. Some of these gatherings involve the immediate family. Others include extended family and close friends, or don\u2019t even necessarily involve inviting other households over.\u00a0 Take January 5th, which marks the Feast of Epiphany, for example. On that day, each household within our family shares a Galette des Rois frangipane, a French King cake which I spoke about on this blog before. If you missed that article, click here. The very next day, January 6th, marks the official launch of Haiti\u2019s Kanaval, better known elsewhere as Mardi-Gras season. Between January 6th and the actual Mardi-Gras day, we feast on endless Haitian beignets. As per \u201cstrict\u201d past traditions, you will not see us indulge in these treats outside of that date range. I couldn\u2019t tell you who instituted that rule. I just grew up living by it. The longing for them makes those beignets more appealing come Kanaval season. So, I never contested it.\u00a0 As if that period didn\u2019t involve enough sweets, February 2nd has us cooking up another sweet treat. On Candlemas day, we eat cr\u00eapes Suzette. This French inspired dessert typically consists of sweet cr\u00eapes drowned in a citrus (orange, lemon or lime) rum sauce. I couldn\u2019t help but share that specific tradition with you today. Year after year, it brings joy to an otherwise monotonous day. I won\u2019t serve you the traditional cr\u00eapes Suzette, however. Instead, allow me to offer you my mandarine rum caramel infused cr\u00eapes. I could technically claim that these come close to the cr\u00eapes Suzette. The base sauce includes a caramel sauce with mandarine, a citrus, and flavored rum, after all. I will refrain from doing so, however. And simply because I also stuffed my cr\u00eapes with a vanilla lime sour cream, which is atypical of the cr\u00eape Suzette.\u00a0 One could argue that, with these reinvented cr\u00eapes, I am breaking up with tradition. To this, I will simply say that the joy of these traditions relies on the fact that we add our own twist to them. Doing this allows us to fully embrace and keep them alive.\u00a0 These decadent cr\u00eapes are filled with a vanilla lime sour cream and drowned in homemade madarine caramel spiked with flavored rum.I used Haitian rum, but feel free to use your favorite rum. I opted for a flavored one to boost the flavors of my caramel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","spay_email":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"A la Chandeleur on mange des cr\u00eapes.
