For Midwestern ex-pats like myself, today is Pączki Day: the Thursday before Lent and the beginning of pączki season. Polish-Americans (and their fans) down these lard-enriched doughnuts, glazed in sugar and filled with creamy...

purple color like Welch’s grape jelly garnered the first “Wow!” of many to come. Initially a leathery/earthy nose plumping up with aeration to reveal dense black fruits and anise, this wine offered much more to...

. For dessert we shared 3 things: Homemade donuts w/ zinfandel grape jelly - Awesome. Freshly fried on order, grape jelly was delicious. Tasted like fried dough at the fair, but fancier. Banana cake w/ caramel and vanilla ice cream...

Well, I must admit, I’m not a big fan of chutney-type substances. Perhaps it’s a texture thing. Not a fan of “chunks” in jammy/jelly kinds of things. I look forward to hearing about it though. I’m...

my jams a bit more jammy. Needs work, in my opinion. June Taylor give samples of all her jams. I really respect her jams, but I really favor the jams from the people like Frog Hollow and Langier that grow the fruit. But try some...

fruits in there like pineapple. . JELLY, MARMALADE, CHUTNEY Rustic, homey jellies and marmalades are hand-made in small batches from top-notch ingredients. Pricey ($9) but worth every penny. Made with the best seasonal fruit, that...

I just put up 3 batches of plum jelly last weekend. I would suggest you get a kettle style canner that goes on your stovetop. It’s like a big pot with a lid and it comes with all the supplies you need. Except your jars and...

am not wearing gloves and I have a white counter, using an old white plastic board to catch everything though. A little splattering but could care less. I have a mission. Any ideas for the juice? I was going to do martini’s...

and white slabs. Jammy, tart blackcurrant cylinder was topped with baby meringues of raspberry and tart yoghurt; pistachio tyre was appetising yet its elderflower jelly drops were not; and white and dark chocolate sandwich had...

. Maybe beets and blood orange with a champagne vinaigrette and shaved dark chocolate. Do you think the champagne could stand up to this? I’m also considering a roasted cauliflower with chocolate jelly here. I don’t...

Excellent advice so far. All would add is that if your raspberry jam is very sweet you might want to cut it with some lemon juice, currant jelly or lingonberry jam because otherwise you lose a contrast that I find makes the...
