That Girls Jam

It is always nice to know what is in season before heading to your local grocer. Take a look at the Northern California harvest calendar. Enjoy and happy shopping!

Plums have so much to offer on their own with their thin tangy skin and there juicy sweet flesh. Me being me I could not stop there, as I wanted some richer complexity and deeper color for my jam. My resolution was dried hibiscus flowers. Their deep rich burgundy color was perfect not to mention the wonderful aroma they provide. My intuitions were right…the jam turned out amazing. After jarring I scraped the barrel of the pot and smothered the remaining hot piping jam all over a rich ginger cookie and indulged. Delish!
