Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
I live for concord grapes.
If you’ve never had concords you’re probably thinking, Really, Faith? Grapes? They’re good in an eh, it’s a fruit and I should get my daily quota kind-of-way. But nothing spectacular. Barely worth a cursory glance.
Those are normal grapes, and concords are nothing approaching normal grapes.…
This is part two (here’s part one) of what I did with my Concord grapes, and I wanted to get this recipe posted before Concord season is too much of a distant memory. Eating this jam makes me wish for a jar of homemade roasted peanut butter and a loaf of fresh baked sourdough bread. PB&J with a grown-up flair…and I’d be one happy girl. Instead, I found some fresh rosemary bread at my local grocery store (thank you, Wegmans, for having a fantastic in-store bakery!) which was a lovely pairing with the jam....
Homemade Concord Grape Juice is a delicious, antioxidant-rich beverage. I feel like a mom. At least in the sense that I haven’t had a hot meal (since I’m too busy photographing them) in about two and a half years. (And yes, of course I understand that a mom’s life is so, so much more than that…you moms are incredible!) Like any mom, I do it happily though, since it benefits my blog (which is like my child in a lot of ways). I don’t even mind taking pictures when I’m eating out or walking around town. But…well, sometimes I need a break from the camera....
