Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
Tomatoes can be so frustrating on the West Coast. Even when you nurture them all summer long, in the end you might not get that many red ones. This little recipe goes a long way towards making up for that. A delicious treat for cold winter nights.
This time of year always seems like it’s in the midst of an identity crisis--it's 80 then 50, strawberries are still at the market right next to winter squash, apples, and pears. This tomato jam walks the line between seasons perfectly.
Cherry tomatoes and kumquats are balanced with chilies and ginger in this brightly colored and wildly exciting jam. We found this jam to be equally delicious on toast, sandwiches, and grilled meats.
