Peach pie jam, unnecessary?, Spidey and pug

/

With an overabundance of peaches strewn about my table and counters, I decided to make peach jam. Then I thought, how about a peach pie-inspired jam? And finally, what about a splash of Cognac added right at the end? People, this is delicious, and I will share this recipe for sure. Just look at the peaches. And the color of the jam is stunning.

Spidey kept me company, and Percy is still on the quiet end of the spectrum but despite having his gums dug around in yesterday seems not to have lost any appetite for anything. Typical.

 

 

Lastly, do you find this labeling to be as out of control as do I? Put the sticker gun down, market employee!

Plank-grilled chicken, canning seminar tomorrow

/

T bulk-ordered some alder wood planks (seriously, do you need some?), so last night we tried plank-grilling some gorgeous chicken raised on an Amish farm. It turned out well though in my fatigue-induced laziness, I neglected to season it at all. Alas. Bone Suckin' BBQ sauce to the rescue.

I am very excited for tomorrow's Canning Seminar in Silver Spring. Please come to Strosniders at 9am if you want to learn more about canning and rhubarb-plum jam spiced with star anise!! Click on the event in my calendar for more info.
