I found a few more recipes for onion confit, and I wanted to capture it so I remember to make it next year. I think this would be a great addition to my Christmas gift giving and holiday parties »

Odd combination, I know. It came to me in a dream and it turns out others have made this combination. Tastes great (so they say) on chicken or diluted with red wine vinegar over salad »

This sweet tasting jam has an note of butterscotch but very much preserves the flavour of the ground cherries »

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

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 »

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 »

My sister gave me her fancy wobbly-crinkle cutter, the perfect rationale to make bread & butter pickles »

Dill pickles, thinly sliced on burgers, are Steve’s fav. This year I added some dry chilli flakes to spice them up »
