Aubergine with Buttermilk Sauce from Plenty

Cardamom Plum Jam : page 116

This is a really lovely jam - I really enjoy the touch of cardamom, but if you don't like it, don't make this recipe.

This has been a really big hit with everyone that's tried it. It's not too hot, and the apple gives it a nice tang.
I used cranberries for color, and it is a nice red.

Red Onion Marmalade : page 193

I wasn't sure what to expect from this jam, but it turned out to have great flavor. It's very good in sandwiches (I've been using in all my grilled cheeses.)

Simple Pickled Jalapeno Slices : page 144

These were good - simple to make, and kept well. Once I fished out the garlic, made a good sub for the canned ones.
