This jam sounds rather mature and sophisticated, but it would surely be a hit with almost anyone, including kids. The combination of the deliciously sweet comice pear and cinnamon almost reminds me of apple butter, only lighter.

An autumn-tasting chutney with a bit of a kick. Enjoy the last of summer's green tomatoes and fall's apples in this lovely chutney. Wonderful with meats and cheeses.

To canners around the world (at least in my hemisphere) fall means apple butter. This recipe makes use of apple cider for a spicy kick that makes me want to curl up in front of a fire with a good book (and a piece of bread smothered with the stuff!).

Bruschetta in a JAR? That's right! Enjoy this tasty little appetizer all year long. Impress your friends at winter potlucks. Broil some crostini, add a spoonful of bruschetta, drizzle with olive oil, and you're ready to go.
