Concord grape jam
Our friend Leah gifted us kyoho grapes, a type of Concord grape commonly found in Japan and Korea. We tried this recipe: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/09/concord-grape-jam-recipe-grape-jelly.html Our modifications: because we had 3 ½ cups grapes (not 8 cups), we roughly halved the recipe. For the sugar, we reduced to 1 cup citrus-infused granulated sugar and 1 ¼ cups… Continue reading Concord grape jam

Vanilla frosting
We made this frosting to go with a boxed devil’s food cake (Duncan Hines): https://www.thespruceeats.com/classic-devils-food-cake-with-vanilla-frosting-3053381 For best results, soften the butter at room temperature (don’t rush it in a microwave). We used butter that wasn’t quite room temperature, and it resulted in some lumps. (May 2018)
Citrus zest-infused sugar
We tried this recipe: https://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-citrus-sugar-226250 We used zest from 2 lemons and 2 limes, baked at 170 degrees for 12 mins, which is how long it took for the zest to be dry to the touch. It’s a good way to repurpose citrus rinds leftover from recipes calling for only juice. (May 2018) Note: We… Continue reading Citrus zest-infused sugar
