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?
Moroccan inspired spiced apple and date butter. Similar to an apple jam or preserve made by slow cooking the apples with sugar and spices until they are soft and reduced down. What is left after the long slow cooking is thick, dark, sweet and spicy.
I love the rich flavors of turmeric, cinnamon, bay leaf and cumin together in this sweet yet savory preparation. What could be better during a cold winter’s lunch that this sunny pickle?
This lightly spiced peach jelly tastes like peach cobbler in a jar. Use your peaches in your favorite recipes and then make this jelly with the peels. It is a great way to make something tasty out of something you were going to discard.
Blackberries are delicious by themselves, but add in a bit of cinnamon and tequila and you've got a flavour combination that can't be beat! Try this jam with whichever pectin and level of sugar you like to use, but add in an extra zing!
