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?
How to make jam with just about any fruit you happen to have hanging around. This is a mixed fruit jam - peaches, strawberries, blueberries, plums and cranberries
I am slightly addicted to chilli and eat it on as many foods as possible. This is a spicy and sweet chilli jam with garlic and ginger. I think it has a bit of a spicy kick but it is not mouth burning.
Strawberries and ginger are magically delicious - more than the sum of their parts. I'm preparing to restock my pantry for 2013! This recipe is worth repeating and is one of my most requested flavors.
This recipe is a tad intense to prep. But all the fuss is forgotten when the heat hits the pot — the perfume of the lemons and lovely pink hue that the onions bring to the picture dispel all memory of tedium. This is truly a gorgeous jam.
If you are a marmalade wimp like me, this jam will be right up your alley. The small amount of bergamot zest adds a bitter, floral note to this preserve which I admit sounds odd, but if you like earl grey tea you know what I am talking about.
