Recipes and Stories by Rachel Saunders

  • Lemon and Pink Grapefruit Marmalade

    This is the perfect everyday marmalade: coarsely cut grapefruit and thinly sliced lemon suspended in a sparkling citrus jelly. The grapefruit is blanched twice and the lemons once, rinsing out some of their bitterness and balancing their flavors. It is tart yet not astringent, delicate but full of fruit, flavorful yet not overpowering.
  • Pear Jam with Rosemary and Pine

    Pear goes naturally with herbs, and the combination of pear and rosemary is particularly delicious. Pinecone bud syrup has a dark chestnut color and wintry pine flavor. Here, it combines seamlessly with the rosemary and pears to create a warm and very autumnal jam.
  • Early Girl Tomato Marmalade

    Tomato marmalades are the perfect partners for crackers, cornbread, or sourdough.
