I stumbled across the most wonderful blog yesterday! It’s called “Orangette.”
The author, Molly, has created a wonderful pastiche of recipes and life that is absolute eye candy. Even if you are not into cooking you’ll enjoy this blog.
I was searching for a recipe for Italian Plum Jam. Her August entry on making blackberry jam gives me not only the recipe, but all the side notes that should make it a successful experience. She started with the picking of the blackberries and carried the story all the way through to the canning of the jam. I wished I had been there. It sounded like a glorious day.
I might just try Orangette’s canning suggestion! Sounds delicious! Only, we don’t have blackberries growing wild…
Hit the Farmer’s Market or the grocery store, Pattie. We tried her recipe using plums today and I want to blog about the results.
Personally, I think a RED RASPBERRY version of this would be the bee’s knees!
