Adapted from Mark Bittman’s recipe in The New York Times, August 20, 2008. This is a sweet and savory jam that is perfect with toast and butter or cream cheese in the morning. And when paired with goat cheese, sharp cheddar or marscapone on crostini, is a sophisticated addition to cocktails and appetizers. 2 lbs. tomatoes (any variety) cored and coarsely chopped. 1 cup sugar 3 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground cloves 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes 1 pkg. unflavored gelatin 1. Combine all ingredients with the exception of the gelatin in a heavy saucepan. 2. Bring to a boil over medium heat stirring often. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally until mixture has thickened considerably for about an hour. 3. Taste, adjust seasoning (I err on adding more cloves and red pepper flakes), and remove from heat. 4. Dissolve gelatin in a small bowl with a few tablespoons of the jam. Add a tablespoon of water if necessary. Add to the tomato jam and cook over low heat for an additional fifteen minutes. 5. Remove from the heat and cool. Spoon into a jam jar and seal. 6. Refrigerate. Jam will last for several weeks until opened.  Recipe by Anna Gill

-John Russell, The Boke of Nurture, 1440 Have three pewter basins for the liquid and three straining bags, one for each, hanging inside of them from a perch. Pare ginger or beat it into a powder and be sure to use the columbine variety. Your cinnamon sticks should be thin, brittle and fair in colour. Use grains of paradise, sugar, red wine, long pepper and turnsole for colouring. Put each spice into a separate bladder and hang these bags from the perch so that they don’t touch each other. Place two or three gallons of wine into each of the basins. Allow the wine to absorb the flavours from the pouches. Then strain the liquid through the long cloth bag called a Hippocrate’s Sleeve. Taste it. If there is too much ginger, add cinnamon, and vice versa. Serves 8 2 bottles burgundy wine 1/3 cup sugar 8 sticks cinnamon, broken into pieces 6 thin slices fresh ginger 1 teaspoon whole cloves Pinch galingale* 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg 5 cardamom pods, coarsely crushed ¼ teaspoon grains of paradise, finely ground** Optional: fresh orange or lemon peel 1. Combine the above ingredients in a large pan or pot. Bring to a boil; then reduce heat and simmer about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. 2. Adjust seasoning to taste. Add citrus peel if desired. 3. Strain liquid to remove the whole spices and serve. *Galingale is an Asian root akin to a combination of ginger and cardamom. It is available in Asian markets. **Grains of Paradise are an African pod with a peppery flavor and a hint of cardamom. NOTE: You can substitute 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/8 teaspoon of ginger and another finely crushed cardamom pod for the galingale and ¼ teaspoon of grains of paradise.  Recipe by Anna Gill
