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?
After a day of gleaning the streets of downtown and getting some killer farmers market deals, it was time to get busy and make jam. But this time I used a new tool.
I love marmalade. Once a year I get to capture a little citrus heaven. That & I’ve been watching to much Downton Abbey. This year I'm blending classic Seville oranges & blood oranges for a unique fruity flavor & aroma, with a towel-snapping bite.
This recipe recalls the very first preserves I ever made: pineapple lime jam. The rumor is that the result was so exquisite that my father-in-law ate it straight out of the jar. I’m sorry that it’s taken me nearly 6 years to revisit the combination.
The color of modern love, this bright pinky-orange Pink Grapefruit Campari marmalade is sweet with just a trace of bitterness. Sophisticated and adult, perfect for Valentine's Day breakfast in bed or any day shared with your true love.
For this month’s Can It Up, it was all blood orange marmalade, all the way. I adore the distinct ruby glow and the sweet, almost berry-like aroma of the Moro orange. The addition of Campari enhances the provocative bitterness of the peel.
A quick and easy recipe with results that are crunchy and delicious. Once you've tried pickled onions you will always want to keep one or two jars on the pantry shelf.
