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?
My favorite recipe for canning pickled asparagus. Why pay $8 a jar at the store when you can make your own (and custom flavor it)?! Use 12 oz jelly jars for extra long spears.
A twist a seriously delicious and easy strawberry rhubarb jam recipe. Take some warm toast, spread with goat cheese and some of this jam. Hot love on a platter.
This recipe is the bomb. It creates the most intoxicating and addictive fruit pickle I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Great on their own, with cheese, in a Manhattan, or with duck.
