Cranberry Potpourri Jam

This cranberry potpourri jam is inspired by the little fruit-orange sachets I used to make as a kid. The warm, spicy scent is so inviting, you might just keep a jar in your sock drawer.

Strawberry Rhubarb Jam

This rosy jam captures all the joy of springtime into what may be the most perfect preserve of the year. This is a low-sugar jam with a loose texture. It's especially nice swirled into plain yogurt or spread over fresh goat cheese on toast.

Cranberry Orange Jam with Crystallized Ginger

What I like best about this jam is that tastes a lot like orange marmalade, but it only takes a fraction of the work to make. The secret is to pulse whole unpeeled oranges into a pulp in the food processor. To make it even more festive, I added a cinnamon stick and a generous handful of chopped crystallized ginger.

Rhubarb-Strawberry Jam

This jam reverses the usual strawberry-rhubarb ratio and put rhubarb in the driver's seat. Swirl it into Greek yogurt, use it as a topping for vanilla ice cream, or spread it over banana bread. Its gorgeous, pale pink hue would make a perfect Mother's Day gift.

Bright and Fruity Strawberry Jam, Your Way

This classic strawberry jam is built on a very basic formula. Follow it and you'll have a jam that comes together quickly and ends up bright and fruity. Or, use the formula to your advantage, making substitutions that are guaranteed to work.

Summer Blueberry Jam

This delicious blueberry jam made from in-season summer blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice couldn't be more simple to make. The key is to select the best berries: Namely, a mixture that includes mostly just-ripe berries with a few under-ripe berries as well.

Perfect Strawberry Jam

The perfect, spreadable, sweet-tart strawberry jam. Use only the best summer strawberries for this!

Strawberry Rhubarb Jam with Honey and Cinnamon

The tart flavors of this jam make it a perfect compliment to sweet breads, cakes, and other desserts. Try it spooned over vanilla ice cream or swirled into rice pudding.

Strawberry Kiwi Jam

This recipe is one that I adapted slightly from the National Center for Home Food Preservation. Strawberries and kiwis are simmered together with lemon juice and a bit of crystallized ginger is added for kick. Try it with sweet breads like brioche or challah, or serve it alongside pancakes.

Blueberry Rhubarb Jam With Maple Syrup

Thick, silky, and speckled with tiny chunks of blueberries, this jam has a pronounced maple flavor and is lightly scented with star anise, cinnamon, and vanilla. It would be perfect between layers of French toast, but also try it with buttery scones or cinnamon streusel muffins, or swirl it into oatmeal.
