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?
Pears aren’t a fruit I normally come by during the canning season, which is why I was so excited when my husband’s aunt let us have access to her pear tree this year. I immediately knew what I wanted to make with her pears: pear-cinnamon jam....
This ginger-pear jam would go beautifully with your Thanskgiving turkey, one a bowl of vanilla ice cream, or with a cheese platter. You will find many uses for this sauce.
On day one of the Punk Domestics trip to Italy in January, 2012, we made three kinds of preserves with Marzia Brigante: Quince jam, pear jam with aromatic spices and savor, a conserve made with apples, pears, quince, nuts and saba.
