 Perfect, Old-fashioned Strawberry Preserves from April McGreger You can use this same recipe for blackberry or blueberry preserves; but because both contain much more pectin than strawberries, reducing the juices first is not necessary. These chunky strawberry preserves reign supreme over pectin-pumped strawberry jam. Small strawberries, about 1/4 of which are just under ripe make the best preserves. By straining the berry juices and reducing them you create intense, concentrated flavor, and the decreased cooking time of the chunks of strawberries means flavors stay bright and fresh. Because strawberries are naturally low in pectin, these preserves will yield a softer set but the taste is exquisite. Put some away now, and you'll no longer relegate your jam to peanut butter sandwiches, but will instead be spooning it over everything from crepes to yogurt to fresh goat cheese crostini sprinkled with black pepper. I find they are best, however, over hot, homemade buttermilk biscuits. • 8 cups strawberries (2 quarts) • 4 cups sugar • Juice of 1 lemon Rinse and halve the larger strawberries. Leave the small ones whole. Place berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl and toss. Cover and let sit for 4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator. Place 2 small plates in the freezer. Strain the juice from the berries and set the berries aside. Bring the juice to a boil over high heat, stirring gently. Continue cooking on high heat for 5 to 10 minutes until the juice has thickened into sticky syrup just short of caramelizing. Watch it closely. The syrup should reach 221 degrees in order to gel properly. When the syrup is sufficiently thickened, add your berries to the liquid. Cook for another 5-10 minutes, until they are cooked through, and the mixture is thick. Scrape the bottom of the pan often towards the end to be sure the preserves are not sticking, but be gentle with the berries. Add a dab of butter to the preserves to reduce foaming if necessary. Skim carefully to remove any foam. When you think the preserves are ready, remove from heat and check the set. Check the set of the preserves by removing a plate from the freezer and dropping a spoonful of preserves liquid on it. Return it to the freezer for 2 minutes, then gently nudge the edge of the syrup with your finger. It should hold its shape. If the preserves are too thin, return to a boil and check every minute until ready. You can seal your preserves in jars by pouring very hot preserves into very hot, sterilized jars and topping with hot sterilized two-piece lids. You can sterilize your jars and lids in a simmering hot water bath for 10 minutes or in a 275 degree oven for 15 minutes. When cool, check the lids to see that they sealed properly by pressing the button on the top of the jar. If the button pops back, store the preserves in the refrigerator to prevent spoilage. Makes about 5 half-pints. * You can experiment with using less sugar, but the preserves will not set up as well. They also will not keep as long, so either eat them fast or store them in the refrigerator. * I use natural sweeteners, like Rapadura, a lot in baking, but when making preserves I stick with white cane sugar. I find that darker sugars mask the bright and fruity flavor (and color) of jams and preserves. April McGreger is the proprietor of Carrboro-based Farmer's Daughter, a seasonal, handcrafted specialty food business featuring traditional and innovative preserves, jams, chutneys, pickles, and lacto-fermented vegetables, such as sauerkraut and kimchi, delicious artisan bread & pastries. Before starting Farmer's Daughter, April spent 7 years in Chapel Hill's best restaurants, including a two year stint as pastry chef at Lantern Restaurant. Through her stand at the Saturday Carrboro Farmer's Market, April combines her restaurant experience with an extensive knowledge of traditional Southern foodways to create unique products, each with its own story.

| Rising Moon Pizza | |||
 That's Amore!By Emily Buehler, Contributing Writer What better way to celebrate the full moon hitting your eye on June 7th than with a warm, gooey, pizza pie? Especially if it's a Rising Moon pizza pie. I've never been a fan of frozen pizza—they're expensive and smaller than the box would have you believe, and I've always doubted they could taste as good as the real deal from a pizza parlor. But last month a friend came to visit with three kids, and I had to make dinner for the night of their arrival. "How about frozen pizza?" I suggested, thinking of the Rising Moon pizzas I'd seen on sale in the store. I bought myself one to try it out—the basic tomato and mozzarella number known as Pizza Margherita. Coming out of the box with its shreds of cheese scattered on top, the frozen pizza was a sad thing; but 20 minutes later it emerged from the oven, melted and sizzling. And when I bit into it, the herbed flavor of the sauce truly caught me by surprise. I ate the whole pizza. I've become a fan, and this month Rising Moon pizzas are again on sale, for only $5.99! I plan to eat as many as I can and fill my freezer. Look for Pesto and Buffalo Mozzarella, Four Cheese, and Grilled Vegetable as well as Pizza Margherita in the freezer case. |
