Bourbon Peach Jam

Few things in life are better than biting into a fuzzy, sun-warmed peach, the nectar dribbling down your chin.

Rich Red Plum Jam

This is a beautiful jewel-red jam with a perfect balance of sweet and tart. Putting half of the fruit through a food mill and leaving the other half in quarters makes for a rustic textured jam. An overnight maceration gives you a head-start on the jamming process. It's a great jam to pair with fresh, creamy cow's milk cheeses like ricotta.
