This recipe may be one of my easiest that I have ever shared with you, but it is one I know you are going to thank me for. Everyone loves roasted garlic……roasting the garlic turns it into an entirely different ingredient giving it a nutty, sweet flavor that is just irresistible. Well, this recipe is...

Fall is apple season, and we now have a huge variety of amazing apples available to choose from every year. Most years, we pack up the family and head to the apple orchard and pick too many apples while enjoying warm apple cider and delicious apple cider donuts. This year, having to take Covid precautions,...

I have gone a little pumpkin crazy lately, so I must apologize. But, since it is fall and pumpkins are finally showing up everywhere, I do have an excuse! My favorite winter squash to use for both baking and savory dishes here in Umbria is the Kabocha squash which is sold in just about every...

Tropea Onion Jam

One of my favorite new cookbooks this year is Preserving Italy by Domenica Marchetti. It is the only Italian canning and preserving cookbook written in English that I’ve found. I have some Italian language cookbooks that deal with canning and preserving, but this one is written in English and is specific to canning and preserving....

Apricot Pineapple Jam

I enjoy creating jams and jellies to share with our farmhouse guests, and am always looking for new flavor combinations to try. Last year I made a peach cantaloupe jam that I really loved, and this year I paired apricots with pineapple to create a new flavor. Although I love plain old basic apricot jam,...

Peach Cantaloupe Jam

I truly enjoy creating a number of batches of different types of jams each year during our stay in Umbria. I buy the fruit from our local markets, and I give a jar of my homemade jam to each group of guests that stay in our farmhouse rental in their gift basket. I also use...

Apricot Vanilla Jam

I’ve made a few different types of jam this year, but my favorite new variety has to be this tasty apricot jam flavored with vanilla bean. I use this jam on toast in the morning as well as a filling for my jam tarts and the vanilla adds a subtle flavor, and a depth to...

Rose Petal Syrup

Deborah — Wed, 30 May 2012 05:40:59 +0000

I first learned about rose petal syrup when Pamela Sheldon Johns posted about it on Facebook and I was so intrigued I did some research on the internet. Last year I did make Rose Hip Jam, but I never thought about using the rose petals. We have some amazing heirloom roses on our property that...
