I’ve seen a lot of hate on for pectin from scratch foodies and organivores because they think pectin is an unnatural product. This is absolutely not true.

This is my time of year. I don’t mean that my birthday is coming up, I mean this is the time of year that I crave. I bide my time in the summer, waiting for the heat to move on and for the glorious autumn to start. I live in Vancouver, where early autumn is an explosion of beauty. The …

I don’t need to …

I don’t have an ice cream maker yet (wanna recommend one for me)? I’ve tried making ice cream just in the freezer, but it never turns …
