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?
This Italian prune plum jam is enlivened with exotic South Indian flavors. Jaggery is used as the primary sweetening agent, and mace imparts a peppery, nutmeggy essence.
This is a traditional South Indian pickle, to be served with yogurt rice. Yogurt rice is just that: yogurt, and rice. The pickle is very salty, tangy, spicy, is rounded out by the umami of the tomato. A nice way to use green tomatoes en masse.
