Hot and Cold
Honey-sweetened chocolate syrup is a great way to encourage my preschooler to drink more raw milk!
Apple a Day
I love using every part of a purchase! In this case, the scraps from canning applesauce became apple jelly, and the cores from making dried apple rings became cider vinegar.
Honeyed Plums
Italian prune plums are halved and canned in a bath of sweet spices and honey syrup---these gorgeous preserves will be well-appreciated come winter!
Out of the Wild
From wild plums growing in the greenbelt to jars of orange jam in my pantry.
Toaster Waffles
A super-easy waffle recipe that is fluffy, crisp, and perfect for lazy mornings---even more so if you freeze some and pop them in the toaster!
Leaves and Grass
Lightly spiced and not too sweet, with a decadent drizzle of white chocolate glaze, these pumpkin scones are like an edible ode to autumn.
