How to Make Strawberry Freezer Jam + Video

Freezer jam always seems to capture the real essence and taste of the fruit used, especially when it comes to Strawberry Freezer Jam.

Not only do we use this strawberry jam as a condiment for toast, pancakes or crepes, but we also use it in sauces, vinaigrettes, yogurt and...

How to Oven-Bake Spiced Pear & Rhubarb with Verjus in Stoneware Ramekins + Video

I like to prepare this delicious Oven-Baked Pear & Rhubarb with Verjus in Stoneware Ramekins, and bring these pretty clay pots to the table with the lids on. It would be perfectly fine to make this dessert in large cups or mugs that will hold 2 1/2 cups.

Web Chef Review: Certo Pectin Crystals

Ever used Certo Pectin Crystals? Pectin is a natural substance found in the flesh, seeds and skin of fruits, and it reacts with acid and sugar to form a thick jell.

Natural pectin is not constant in its natural state in fruits, and I don’t like the idea of having my batches of jams and...
