N. Michigan Tart Cherries
My husband grew up in a little town on the Leelanau Peninsula of Michigan called Leland. On this narrow peninsula 75% of all the tart cherries in the US are grown and they are delicious! Every summer when we go up to visit we bring back apricots and sometimes black raspberries but it's the tart cherries that everyone waits for. We have one customer that orders 20 pints every year! These preserves are delicious, whole tart cherries in syrup, sweetened just enough, with a hint of vanilla, perfect on ice cream or yogurt, in a mixed drink, in a tart, on a cheese plate or straight out of the jar.
Ingredients: tart cherries from Redpath Orchards in Lake Leelanau, MI, organic sugar, organic lemon juice, vanilla beans
Strawberry & Honeysuckle Jelly
A lot of the time when we roast strawberries for our Roasted Strawberry Preserves there is lots of extra strawberry juice left over from the roasting process. I typically separate the excess juice, and store it in giant jars in the fridge, to save for future projects. One year I used it to make Blueberry Strawberry Jam. I've also made Strawberry Jelly a few times, but not very often, I'm just not really a huge fan of using pectin. There's no particular reason why I don't use pectin very often, I guess I just associate it with the stiff, grocery store preserves I had growing up. I much prefer keeping things simple, just cooking fruit down until it reaches it's own natural set.
To make a long story short, over the years way too much of this rich, flavorful strawberry juice has gone to waste and we amass A LOT. I decided that there was no way I was going waste another drop, so David and I concocted a plan. David picked a ton of honeysuckle, and we then steeped it in the strawberry juice overnight. We turned this glorious mixture into what is technically a jelly, but is really so much more. We even made honeysuckle syrup to use for future batches once the honeysuckle is gone for the season. We're calling it Strawberry & Honeysuckle Jelly even though it should be called a jally (jam and jelly mix) because the juice is so rich and flavorful. We did end up using pectin and I am surprised by how much I am enjoying it, the texture is just right, the flavor is spot on and the color is gorgeous. Actually, I think it's possible this may be my favorite thing we've ever made. And in even more exciting news our Strawberry & Honeysuckle Jelly is a finalist for a 2020 Good Food Award!
