Plum Conserve for a Winter’s Night, with modifications »

I just couldn’t help it! I went to the bookstore and spent too much money on more preserving books »

I accomplished my goal. I beat my time by 29 seconds in this year’s chocolate race »

Meaghan sent me her method for making macaroni with cheese »

This recipe combines raspberry and chocolate, using agave as the sweeter instead of sugar (but honey is more accessible). Although it is a jam, it is not recommended for processing »

I was relaxed and calm and felt productive. It was a lovely evening »

This recipe combines strawberry, rhubarb, mint and lemon in an unusual low-sugar, pectin-free (cooked) jam recipe. Crazy combination but I think the reduced sugar would bring out the berry flavour and the mint is very refreshing (but not good on peanut butter) »

This recipe for jam made from ground/husk cherries cooked in a chamomile infusion with lemon and honey. Tastes like a soothing cup of tea »

Tomato butter you say? Yes! I am looking for something tart/savoury to go on fish or burgers in lieu of ketchup »

I have left over parsley to use up so I am making tabouli. I have some couscous on hand, so I’m going to make that one first but I will try the bulgur next time »
