  • Candied Cherries (4x)

    A massively scaled out version of the one in the book since we had 54oz of cherries left over. Yum!

  • Cherries Jubilee

    We have made this a few times and love the results. This goes over ice cream very well (see bottom of recipe), or eaten as-is. A great and easy way to preserve cherries.

  • Peach jam, part 2

    Oh. My. Word. This created the peach-tastiness peach jam that we have done so far. The cinnamon one was quite, quite nice, but this one holds the record for tasty.

  • Bread and Butter Pickles

    This is a work-in-progress recipe. My first attempt at this was a disaster: too much salt. I think regular, granulated, table salt is twice as heavy. It tasted salty enough to make me a pirate. The following is what I did for the 3rd iteration.

  • Peach Jam (Low sugar, no Sure-Jell)

    Holy moley. This is amazing stuff. Too bad the yield was so small.Very tasty stuff. Peaches have a huge amount of pectin in their skins, so they should stay on. When they were cooked down, though, the skins mostly disappeared. Tonight, we had some extra pectin from an orange marmalade project from a while ago.…
