Rustic Italian loaf from Canadian living breads and pizzas

This has a very wet dough and due to this I use the bread machine on the dough cycle, stopping the cycle just before it kneads the dough down. After this it’s fairly easy (use lots of flour on work surface)... read more >

Fresh fig and strawberry jam

From: The Complete Book of Small-Batch Preserving: Over 300 Recipes to Use Year-Round (reviewed 1st December 2022)

This makes a really good jam! I love both figs and strawberries and the jam is a great combination. I've also made it with raspberries in place of strawberries.

Gingered rhubarb jam with honey

From: The Complete Book of Small-Batch Preserving: Over 300 Recipes to Use Year-Round (reviewed 1st December 2022)

I really love this jam since it combines ginger and rhubarb, two of my favourite flavours. I do cut the sugar and honey a bit, and I store it in the fridge. It doesn't last long.

Pear raspberry jam

From: The Complete Book of Small-Batch Preserving: Over 300 Recipes to Use Year-Round (reviewed 1st December 2022)

Very good jam. I chopped the pears into small dice for this and used raspberries from the garden. I also reduced the sugar slightly. Made 7-8 small jars.
