View the print-ready version of this recipe. I’ve mentioned before how spoiled I was growing up with a mom who made everything, and I mean everything, from scratch! I can honestly say that I’ve never had to eat store-bough jam before, and I’ve become so accustomed to delicious homemade jam–like this Strawberry Freezer Jam that…
Lawsuit: Care Home Resident Died With Paper Jammed in Windpipe
Cheryl Yewdall spent most of her life at a Philadelphia care home for people with developmental disabilities. It was there, on Jan. 26, that the 50-year-old was found face down on the floor, in a pool of urine, suffocating on a large wad of paper that had been stuffed down her throat. She died five…

Fresh Strawberry Chia Jam
Jam makes the perfect accompaniment to toast, crackers or tarts but is generally loaded with refined sugar, artificial color, and nasty preservatives. Some people venture to make their own and spend hours in the kitchen reducing fruit and boiling cans, but none of this is necessary. Yes it’s true, jam doesn’t have to be complicated to…
Caramelized Onion Jam
This condiment is the flavorful reduction of slow-cooked onions with herbs and balsamic vinegar. Yes, it takes time and patience, but the result is a thick, sweet-savory-tangy sauce with incredible depth of flavor that can be used in a multitude of ways. I love it on burgers, as a topping to goat cheese toast, a…
Pear and Chai Masala Jam
Growing up, I loved pears. They were one of my favorite fruits apart from the quintessential Indian mangoes. The pears in India are quite different from the ones you get here in California. I was amazed by how many different varieties of pears there are in California, like the d’Anjou pear (green and red varieties),…
A Twist on Pan con Tomate
As the heat continues to be oppressive, I look for dishes that are easy to prepare. Where I live, tomatoes seem to reach their peak in mid-September, which is why I like to make this jam now, so I have it as an autumnal condiment in my fridge. Similar to the classic Spanish pan con…
Moroccan-Spiced Tomato Jam
A fantastic way to use and keep an abundance of tomatoes, this jam can be made with any variety or combination, from vine tomatoes to large beefsteaks. Classic spices from the Moroccan pantry—cinnamon, cayenne, and ras el hanout—imbue it with warmth. Ras el hanout is a vibrant, aromatic blend of spices that varies widely by…
Three-Berry Jam
The beauty of this jam is the quickness of both making it and—happily—eating it. You’ll see. I use blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries for this version, but the same method applies to a single-fruit jam or a combination of others, such as blackberries or gooseberries. I like adding strawberries, as they hold their shape slightly better…
Pure Rhubarb Jam Is the Best Way to Stretch the Season
Growing up in a small town in the Midwest, we neighbor kids were quite familiar with the odd celery-like stalk with an enormous leaf at the end of it. Rhubarb lined one side of a neighbor’s house like decorative landscaping. We’d break off a shaft of it and dip it in a cup of sugar…
