Mirabelle Jam with Bourbon Vanilla

This is a classic jam recipe from the Lorraine in the North East of France. It’s made with Mirabelle plums, which are small, sweet plums with a yellow to rosy pink skin, and so good spread on hot buttered toast, bagels, crackers or croissants.
All the ingredients are first mixed in a non-reactive saucepan and allow them to mascerate overnight and let the flavours develop and the sugar draw out the flavour of the plums. You can do this for two hours if you’re tight in time. To ensure a firmer set, I personally prefer to use the freshly pressed lemon juice instead of commerical pectin. But you can for sure use preserving sugar or extra pectin.
The easiest way to test if your jam has reached the setting point is by having a sugar thermometer clipped to the side of your saucepan, with the end dipped in the boiling jam mixture. Once the boiling mixture has reached the correct temperature ( 105C/220F) then your jam should set. For an alternate method, just pop a saucer into the freezer to chill at the beginning of your cooking time. Put a teaspoon of jam onto the chilled saucer for 1 minute. Drag your finger lightly over the jam. If it wrinkles, it has reached setting point and ready for bottle. If it doesn't, keep cooking and test it every 5 minutes. This recipe makes four 400 g-jars of jam.

This blackberry vinegar recipe is easy to make and the perfect addition to a summer salad or use it like a cordial with hot water and a teaspoon of honey for the ultimate sore throat remedy. It's extremely cheap to make using blackberries you've picked yourself. Blackberries are easy to identify and are plentiful, so it's really easy to grab yourself a handful.

  • 600-800 g Fresh blackberries
  1. Add the vinegar and blackberries to a large stainless steel saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool completely.
  2. Place the vinegar in a covered, airtight container and allow to sit at room temperature for 2 weeks.
  3. Strain the vinegar in a fine mesh strainer and discard the blackberries. Store the vinegar in sterilized bottles. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.

Another classic and traditional dish made with a blind-baked keto-macadamia crust and sage roasted butternut squash. Nestled in a creamy rich egg mixture and topped with briny feta and crunchy pine nuts, this butternut squash dish is a great every day low-carb meal. If you have some leftover roasted pumpkins on hand, this would be a perfect recipe to use them up. Use a regular crust instead if low carb diet ain't your thing or leave it out completely and bake the quiche in a casserole dish.
