Small Batch Blood Orange Marmalade
When I first started making marmalade, I thought it was the same as any other preserve. Chop the fruit, combine it with sugar and cook until set. I didn’t realize that citrus needed a more specialized treatment. You either need … Continue reading
Urban Preserving: Small Batch Kumquat Marmalade
Kumquats aren’t like other citrus fruit. Instead of having a tart rind and a sweet interior, they keep their sugar in the skin and have their pucker on the inside. It took me years to realize that the best way … Continue reading

Urban Preserving: Small Batch Seckel Pear Jam with Brown Sugar and Cardamom
I’m crazy for pears these days. I buy them without a plan for how I’m going to use them, just to be able to have them around to look at and munch on. Seckel pears are a particular weakness, followed … Continue reading

Urban Preserving: Red Pear Lavender Jam
I’ve been going a little bit crazy for pears lately. In my heart, fall has arrived, no matter what the heat and humidity seem to think. These particular red pears caught my attention while I was walking through Reading Terminal … Continue reading

Urban Preserving: Italian Plum Jam with Star Anise
The day before Hurricane Irene hit the east coast, a massive box of fruit arrived on my doorstep. It was from the Washington State Fruit Commission, the folks behind the most fabulous website Sweet Preservation. A few weeks earlier, they’d … Continue reading
Urban Preserving: Honey-Sweetened Skillet Stonefruit Jam
When we were in Lancaster for vacation, I bought too much fruit. Every time we stopped by a roadside farmstand, I’d enter a fugue state in which I’d forget how much food we already had at our cabin and would … Continue reading
Urban Preserving: Apricot Rosemary Jam
I ate my first memorable apricot in 1986. I was seven years old and my sister was in her final year of nursery school. The normal order of things in those days was that my mom would pick Raina up … Continue reading

Urban Preserving: Blueberry Ginger Jam
Already this summer, I’ve worked my way through nearly two flats of blueberries. I got my first flat from Beechwood Orchards and the second has been picked up piecemeal from various farmers’ markets and produce shops. I made a batch … Continue reading

Urban Preserving: Refrigerator Dill Pickles
I firmly believe in the power of pickles. A few slices of pickled beets can elevate a basic salad into something worthy of the word dinner. Lay a couple of dilly beans alongside your hot dog and and suddenly it … Continue reading
Urban Preserving: Small Batch Strawberry Vanilla Jam
As many of you know, I live in a fairly compact apartment (remember these pictures of my kitchen?). My husband and I have something in the neighborhood of 1,050 square feet that we call our own. In the last three … Continue reading
