Sparkling Sugar Plum Jam

December 1, 2024 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

A few years ago, I included Runamok’s Sparkling Maple Syrup in my Festive Finds gift list. I love that stuff – I gave it as gifts and used it at Christmas morning brunch. I also went into a little edible glitter binge, using all sorts of colors in my holiday cocktails, and beyond. I went a little glitter crazy. Recently, in the run up to the holidays, I came across my stash of … [Read more...] about Sparkling Sugar Plum Jam

The kind of recipes that call for a peck of … [Read more...] about Tomato Butter

Sweet Tea Jelly

Canning is my summer time obsession.  From the first strawberries of spring to the last pears of fall, I spend my weekends putting up my famers market bounty.  Then the market closes for the season, I put the canner back in the pantry and shelf the jars for the next year.  But at some point, in the dark days of winter, I get the slight canning bug.  I don’t particularly see the … [Read more...] about Sweet Tea Jelly

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
