10 Days of DIY Cooking, Day Twenty Two: Preserved Lemons… Once you dive into preserved lemons, it really is hard to go back. These work so well as flavour bombs. All that salty lemony flavour is a great way to top dips, pasta, proteins and through couscous salads. The best part is that it’s two ingredients and time, so its not much work at all.

You guys, Bonne Maman jam is way too sweet, most store jam is! Make your own! And if you don’t want to stress over canning, you can make a very quick preserve with a couple quarts of fruit and just keep the container in your fridge!!! This is most often what I’m doing as I move through fruit preserves rather quick as they get used in my cakes 🎂🍰 I’m still yelling about the lack of acid in most recipes. That lemon juice is going to help thicken and balance the sweetness. Salt, spices, herbs are all welcome additions! once you understand the ratios and cooking time, you will be set free into a world of colorful fruity condiments! Keep in mind, this is a loose guideline, as I will sometimes stray depending the sugar content of the fruit! 100% fruit 50% cane sugar 10% maple syrup 2% lemon juice Additional flavorings and seasonings to taste Mix all ingredients together, let macerate a couple of hours or overnight. Put a little plate in the freezer. Cook fruit mixture on medium high heat at a hard bubble, skim any foam off the top. Stir frequently to avoid burnt fruit! A small batch took about 20 minutes to thicken. Place a dollop of jam on your plate, it’s ready when you can draw a line through it and it doesn’t run back into itself. Proceed with your canning methods or just chill and store in fridge! #jam #fypシ❤️💞❤️ #strawberry #cookingreels #preserves

Chilli tomato jam - holding onto the last of the summer fruits and veg and making something like this allows me to have it for longer as this will preserve all things with the sugar and vinegar content. Here is the recipe: 600gm or more of green or red toms Big thumb ginger sliced up 4 cloves garlic 100ml vinegar of your choosing 50gm brown sugar 1 star anise 3 cloves Tsp cumin seeds 1/2 tsp tumeric

MARMALADE - 🍊 I make enough to keep me going all year round but not all in one session. I make 1 kg orange batches which will yield 7 x 1 lb jars. My Spong marmalade slicer I picked up second hand about 20 years ago and I love bringing it out each January.

How to turn jam into fruit ‘cheese’ 🧀 We all know that corner in the cheese store that is home to a few colourful jelly-like looking squares of fruit ‘cheeses’. Here you will find the curious Membrillo, a Spanish quince paste that has been reduced and cooked until it sets into a firm block. The same method can be applied to any fruit really, essentially making a jelly, but just like with jams and jellies, you need the right amount of pectin for it to eventually set. Fruits such as quince, apple, blackberries, gooseberries, plums, lemons and redcurrants all contain enough pectin by themselves. For most other fruit, you will need to add pectin in whichever form you see fit (for instance, you can make your own homemade pectin from apples). I first came across fruit cheeses in @themodernpreserver’s brilliant book (The Modern Preserver) and this recipe is very much inspired by the methods described in it. If you want to learn more about preserving food in its many flavoursome and creative ways, from jams to pickles and from vinegars to fruit cheeses, then let this book be a guiding hand in your kitchen. #fruitcheese #fruit #jam #jelly #homemade #preserves #preservation

This recipe for tomato jam is a family heirloom - would you try it? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments ✨🍅✨

It's pickling season. And homemade gherkins are the best!! Ooh so are sweet pickled beetroots! I find creating my own personal pickling mix the best part during the whole pickling process. In 3 weeks time these are ready to use. Until then they sit in a cool dark cupboard in the kitchen. Patience is virtue! #preserves #season #organic #vegetables #rekharecipe #simplerecipe #kitchentips

I love making this. The cherries are so sweet, it doesn’t need sugar. Simmer slowly without a lid, once cooked and most of the liquid has evaporated, turn off the heat, and once cooled use a hand blender to puree the fruit. I bought them at Costco. #Homemade #preserves #BlackCherry

Fermented Chicory Root Cola 101 . Roasted and ground radicchio roots from @urbanrootsphilly and @dvorganics get brewed into chicory coffee, mixed with cola syrup, and fermented for four days to recreate this homemade version of everyone’s favorite soda. The key to the cola flavor are the oils from the zests, the spices, and the vanilla flavors imparted by the extract and the maple syrup from @stocktonmapleproject here in New Jersey. . Prebiotic, probiotic, locally-sourced and delicious. I highly recommend giving this recipe a try.

I used cherries but of course it works with other soft fruits. Always make sure you wear an apron to protect your clothes when handling fruits with juices that stain. Lastly, don’t throw away the skimmed foam but instead serve it with plain yogurt 🤤 Kudos to my MIL who trained me well 👩🏻‍🍳 #kitchentips #simplerecipes #instarecipe #homemadejam #preserves #summerfruits #cottagecore #domesticbliss #zerowastekitchen

It's stone fruit season and you know what that means! We're making preserves. 🍑 Our buttery Mt Tam complements these fragrant peach preserves beautifully and makes for a perfect summertime pairing.
