"bio": "I am a writer, editor, mother of twins, and enthusiastic home cook. I was raised by an Italian-American mother who, in the 1970s, grew her own basil (because she couldn’t find any in the local grocery stores), zucchini (for those delicious flowers), and tomatoes (because the ones in the store tasted like “a potato”). My mom taught us to love all kinds of food and revere high-quality ingredients. I am now trying to follow in my mother’s footsteps and am on a mission to help my daughters become adventurous eaters who have a healthy respect for seasonal food raised locally. My daughters and I grow vegetables and go to the farmers’ market. We also love to shop at Piedmont Grocery and Trader Joe’s. When I’m not hanging out with my daughters or cooking, I like to contribute to cookbooks (including Williams-Sonoma’s Food Made Fast and Foods of the World series), work as an editor, and write about food for \u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>Denise's Kitchen\u003c/strong>. My food inspirations are M.F.K Fisher, Julia Child, and Alice Waters — three fabulous women who encompass everything I love about food.",

These Spanish-born oranges, which make a marmalade of rich complexity, were for a long time the only oranges used for marmalade in Britain. (For a deep and fascinating dive into the centuries-old history of British preserving, C.

The only grower I've found with a steady supply of Sevilles in season is the \u003ca href=\"http://pantry.blogs.pressdemocrat.com/11037/citrus-primer-with-photos-recipes/\">DeSantis Farm\u003c/a> from the Central Valley. They sell these and many other beautiful specialty varieties at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/alemany-farmers-market-san-francisco\">Alemany Farmers' Market\u003c/a> on Saturdays, the Marin Civic Center market on \u003ca href=\"http://www.agriculturalinstitute.org/index/getMarketDetails?type=Markets&id=20080812134550.active\">Thursdays\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.agriculturalinstitute.org/index/getMarketDetails?type=Markets&id=20080805091943.active\">Sundays\u003c/a>, and the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2008/01/22/revisiting-the-heart-of-the-city-farmers-market/\">Heart of the City Farmers' Market\u003c/a> on Wednesdays. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A warning:\u003c/strong> don't buy anything unless it's clearly marked and sold as a Seville orange. Unless they work for an orchard specializing in odd varieties of citrus, like Buddha's Hand or bergamot, few farmers' market sellers will have any idea what a Seville orange is. Just asking for Sevilles, or for good marmalade oranges, isn't enough; sellers are in the business of selling, and the easiest way to deal with a customer's weird request is simply to sell her whatever's already on the table, be it a navel or a satsuma. Currently, both \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleybowl.com\">Berkeley Bowl\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://biritemarket.com/produce/the-citrus-bomb-has-exploded/\">Bi-Rite Market\u003c/a> have Seville oranges for sale, for $1.69/lb and $3.99/lb, respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you make jam on any kind of a regular basis, you should already have \u003cstrong>the basic gear:\u003c/strong> a scale, a wide-mouth funnel, a jar lifter, a bunch of canning jars, and a wide, heavy pot for cooking. If not, make the small investment and go to the hardware store and at least get the scale and the jar lifter. Trying to wrestle slippery hot jars in and out of a potful of boiling water with a pair of tongs is a crazy-making endeavor, trust me. And to measure fruit and sugar accurately, you really do need a small, preferably digital kitchen scale, available at any well-stocked kitchen-supply or hardware store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Something else to know about marmalade:\u003c/strong> sometimes, you do everything right, and it doesn't seem to gel up. Don't despair, and don't cook it to death trying to get it to thicken. Once you've added the sugar, cooking it longer (say, more than an hour) won't always give you better results. Overly long cooking can break down the pectin and/or caramelize the sugar, giving a heavier, darker taste that's not so bright and citrusy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If everything else about it seems right, jar it up and put it away for a week or two. I've had this happen to me--imagining that I'll have to re-open the jars and try boiling down the whole mess a second time--only to find that, left to its own devices for a while, the marmalade has gelled up perfectly all by itself. It happens. So, don't despair right away. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Seville Orange Marmalade\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nParticularly heavenly with hot tea and toast made from last year's recipe for \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2010/01/09/easy-multi-grain-bread-draft/\">Easy Multi-Grain Bread\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Makes:\u003c/strong> 8 half-pint jars\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n3 lbs Seville oranges, approximately 8-10 oranges\u003cbr>\n2 lemons\u003cbr>\n2 quarts plus 1 cup water\u003cbr>\n3 lbs granulated sugar, preferably the pale-blond, organic kind\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Special Equipment:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>small muslin jelly bag or 8\"x8\" doubled square of cheesecloth\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>wide-mouth funnel\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>jar-lifting tongs\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>8 half-pint canning jars or 4 pint canning jars, with metal rings and flat lids\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>a wide, heavy, non-reactive pot, such as copper, stainless steel, or enameled cast iron\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>a tall, deep pot\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>candy thermometer (optional)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>a few saucers, in the freezer\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Preparation:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1. Wash oranges and lemons well. Halve fruit and squeeze juice into a bowl. Pour the juice through a strainer, and drop the seeds into a separate bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. Using your fingers, and possibly a serrated-edged grapefruit spoon if necessary, pull out the remaining pulp, seeds, and membrane from inside the fruit halves. Using the spoon, scrape out as much white pith from the inside of the fruit halves as you can. Put the pulp, seeds, membrane and pith into the bowl of seeds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. Cut the now-scraped halves into quarters. If you have a food processor, shred the quarters using the slicing disk. Otherwise, use a mandoline or a very sharp knife to slice the peel into fine strips.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. Scoop the pulp, pith, and seeds into a muslin bag or a square of cheesecloth. Tie the bag shut, or knot the pointed ends of the cheesecloth square together firmly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/01/marmalade-2-500.jpg\" alt=\"Simmering the peel to make marmalade\" title=\"Simmering the peel to make marmalade\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21645\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Pour the juice, water, and shredded peel into a large, heavy pot. Add the bag of pulp. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cover and let simmer gently for about an hour, until peel is very tender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. Remove pot from heat. Lift out bag, put it in a bowl and let cool for 15 or 20 minutes, until it can be comfortably handled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. While bag is cooling, add sugar to pot, stirring until dissolved and mixture is clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8. When bag is cool enough to handle, hold bag over the pot and squeeze firmly to get all the liquid out. Yes, it will feel slimy; this is a good thing. That slimy-feeling stuff is the natural pectin present in the seeds and membranes, and it's what will make your marmalade gel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/01/marmalade-3-500.jpg\" alt=\"Marmalade ready to be jarred\" title=\"Marmalade ready to be jarred\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21648\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>9. Bring pot to a fierce boil, stirring frequently to make sure it doesn't burn or stick. It should reach the setting point in about 20-30 minutes. Visually, it should look dark amber in color, with a maple-syrupy consistency. The peels should look thinned down and translucent. \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>To check the set:\n\u003cli>Use a candy thermometer. The setting point should be reached around 220 degrees F. Or,\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Remove pot from heat. Take a saucer out of the freezer and drop a spoonful onto the saucer. Return it to the freezer for a minute or two. Push the spoonful of marmalade with your finger. If it feels like warm honey and sets in one place rather than running all over the saucer, it's done. If not, return pot to heat and cook, stirring, for a few more minutes, then test again. Don't expect it to be as thick as store-bought marmalade at this point; it won't fully gel up until cold. \u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>10. Let the marmalade sit for 30 minutes, in order to keep all the peel from floating up to the top of the jars. Meanwhile, fill a large, deep pot with hot water. Sink jars into the water--they should be covered by at least an inch. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes to sterilize jars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>11. Lift jars out of the pot. Using a ladle and a wide-mouthed funnel, fill jars to within 1/4\" inch of the rim. Wipe rim with a wet paper towel or clean dish towel dipped in hot water. Top with flat lid. Screw on ring finger-tight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>12. Replace jars in pot of hot water. Bring pot to a boil and simmer for 8 minutes. Cover a tray or nearby counter with a clean, dry dishtowel. Lift jars out of hot water and let cool completely on towel. \u003cstrong>Don't disturb the jars while they're cooling. \u003c/strong>As they cool, you should hear a sharp popping noise from each jar as it seals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>13. When jars are completely cool, check lids for seal by pressing in the middle of lid. Lid should not move. If lid pops up and down, it didn't seal. Store any unsealed jars in the refrigerator and eat within a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>14. Loosen rings and wipe off any accumulated moisture. Replace rings, if desired, and store sealed jars in a cool, dry, dark place. Once opened, store in the refrigerator and eat within a month. \u003c/p>\n\n",

Unless they work for an orchard specializing in odd varieties of citrus, like Buddha's Hand or bergamot, few farmers' market sellers will have any idea what a Seville orange is. Just asking for Sevilles, or for good marmalade oranges, isn't enough; sellers are in the business of selling, and the easiest way to deal with a customer's weird request is simply to sell her whatever's already on the table, be it a navel or a satsuma. Currently, both \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleybowl.com\">Berkeley Bowl\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://biritemarket.com/produce/the-citrus-bomb-has-exploded/\">Bi-Rite Market\u003c/a> have Seville oranges for sale, for $1.69/lb and $3.99/lb, respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you make jam on any kind of a regular basis, you should already have \u003cstrong>the basic gear:\u003c/strong> a scale, a wide-mouth funnel, a jar lifter, a bunch of canning jars, and a wide, heavy pot for cooking. If not, make the small investment and go to the hardware store and at least get the scale and the jar lifter. Trying to wrestle slippery hot jars in and out of a potful of boiling water with a pair of tongs is a crazy-making endeavor, trust me. And to measure fruit and sugar accurately, you really do need a small, preferably digital kitchen scale, available at any well-stocked kitchen-supply or hardware store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Something else to know about marmalade:\u003c/strong> sometimes, you do everything right, and it doesn't seem to gel up. Don't despair, and don't cook it to death trying to get it to thicken. Once you've added the sugar, cooking it longer (say, more than an hour) won't always give you better results. Overly long cooking can break down the pectin and/or caramelize the sugar, giving a heavier, darker taste that's not so bright and citrusy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If everything else about it seems right, jar it up and put it away for a week or two. I've had this happen to me--imagining that I'll have to re-open the jars and try boiling down the whole mess a second time--only to find that, left to its own devices for a while, the marmalade has gelled up perfectly all by itself. It happens. So, don't despair right away. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Seville Orange Marmalade\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nParticularly heavenly with hot tea and toast made from last year's recipe for \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2010/01/09/easy-multi-grain-bread-draft/\">Easy Multi-Grain Bread\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Makes:\u003c/strong> 8 half-pint jars\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n3 lbs Seville oranges, approximately 8-10 oranges\u003cbr>\n2 lemons\u003cbr>\n2 quarts plus 1 cup water\u003cbr>\n3 lbs granulated sugar, preferably the pale-blond, organic kind\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Special Equipment:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>small muslin jelly bag or 8\"x8\" doubled square of cheesecloth\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>wide-mouth funnel\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>jar-lifting tongs\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>8 half-pint canning jars or 4 pint canning jars, with metal rings and flat lids\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>a wide, heavy, non-reactive pot, such as copper, stainless steel, or enameled cast iron\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>a tall, deep pot\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>candy thermometer (optional)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>a few saucers, in the freezer\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Preparation:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1. Wash oranges and lemons well. Halve fruit and squeeze juice into a bowl. Pour the juice through a strainer, and drop the seeds into a separate bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. Using your fingers, and possibly a serrated-edged grapefruit spoon if necessary, pull out the remaining pulp, seeds, and membrane from inside the fruit halves. Using the spoon, scrape out as much white pith from the inside of the fruit halves as you can. Put the pulp, seeds, membrane and pith into the bowl of seeds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. Cut the now-scraped halves into quarters. If you have a food processor, shred the quarters using the slicing disk. Otherwise, use a mandoline or a very sharp knife to slice the peel into fine strips.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. Scoop the pulp, pith, and seeds into a muslin bag or a square of cheesecloth. Tie the bag shut, or knot the pointed ends of the cheesecloth square together firmly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/01/marmalade-2-500.jpg\" alt=\"Simmering the peel to make marmalade\" title=\"Simmering the peel to make marmalade\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21645\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Pour the juice, water, and shredded peel into a large, heavy pot. Add the bag of pulp. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cover and let simmer gently for about an hour, until peel is very tender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. Remove pot from heat. Lift out bag, put it in a bowl and let cool for 15 or 20 minutes, until it can be comfortably handled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. While bag is cooling, add sugar to pot, stirring until dissolved and mixture is clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8. When bag is cool enough to handle, hold bag over the pot and squeeze firmly to get all the liquid out. Yes, it will feel slimy; this is a good thing. That slimy-feeling stuff is the natural pectin present in the seeds and membranes, and it's what will make your marmalade gel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/01/marmalade-3-500.jpg\" alt=\"Marmalade ready to be jarred\" title=\"Marmalade ready to be jarred\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21648\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>9. Bring pot to a fierce boil, stirring frequently to make sure it doesn't burn or stick. It should reach the setting point in about 20-30 minutes. Visually, it should look dark amber in color, with a maple-syrupy consistency. The peels should look thinned down and translucent. \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>To check the set:\n\u003cli>Use a candy thermometer. The setting point should be reached around 220 degrees F. Or,\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Remove pot from heat. Take a saucer out of the freezer and drop a spoonful onto the saucer. Return it to the freezer for a minute or two. Push the spoonful of marmalade with your finger. If it feels like warm honey and sets in one place rather than running all over the saucer, it's done. If not, return pot to heat and cook, stirring, for a few more minutes, then test again. Don't expect it to be as thick as store-bought marmalade at this point; it won't fully gel up until cold. \u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>10. Let the marmalade sit for 30 minutes, in order to keep all the peel from floating up to the top of the jars. Meanwhile, fill a large, deep pot with hot water. Sink jars into the water--they should be covered by at least an inch. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes to sterilize jars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>11. Lift jars out of the pot. Using a ladle and a wide-mouthed funnel, fill jars to within 1/4\" inch of the rim. Wipe rim with a wet paper towel or clean dish towel dipped in hot water. Top with flat lid. Screw on ring finger-tight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>12. Replace jars in pot of hot water. Bring pot to a boil and simmer for 8 minutes. Cover a tray or nearby counter with a clean, dry dishtowel. Lift jars out of hot water and let cool completely on towel. \u003cstrong>Don't disturb the jars while they're cooling. \u003c/strong>As they cool, you should hear a sharp popping noise from each jar as it seals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>13. When jars are completely cool, check lids for seal by pressing in the middle of lid. Lid should not move. If lid pops up and down, it didn't seal. Store any unsealed jars in the refrigerator and eat within a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The boxes of fresh, local veggies are distributed directly to schools in Marin. Afterward, gleaners can pick a round for themselves.

Sometimes, however, the meal itself is the event, as local or visiting artists and chefs come together to get inspired by the palette of the windswept, (supposedly) ghost-ridden landscape of the Marin Headlands, using mostly local and mostly organic produce, meats, and fish as their medium. Have more time than money? \u003ca href=\"http://www.headlands.org/article.asp?key=32\">Volunteers\u003c/a> are often needed to help in the kitchen, set up, serve, and clean up. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elsewhere in Marin, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.malt.org/help/volunteer.php\">Marin Agricultural Land Trust (MALT)\u003c/a>, which works to preserve farmland in Marin while educating the public about conservation, is currently accepting volunteers for its two training sessions in January and February.

And not all the jobs require heavy lifting or complete mobility; I've spend many afternoons poking seeds into flats, transplanting seedlings, and making signs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dig, dine, and dance! Sign up for the monthly newsletter from \u003ca href=\"http://www.pieranch.org/\">Pie Ranch\u003c/a>. The country outpost of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2010/12/10/food-secrets-of-mission-pies-karen-heisler-and-krystin-rubin/\">Mission Pie\u003c/a>, this small farm is located down the coast in Davenport, just north of Santa Cruz. On the 3rd Saturday of each month, the ranch hosts a community workday, followed by a potluck supper and a barn dance with a caller. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A fun outing for families is Marin Organic's Monday afternoon \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2010/08/08/the-glean-team/\">Glean Team\u003c/a>. Each week, a different organic farm in Marin lets locals pick through their already-harvested fields for not-quite-as-pretty (but just as delicious) produce. The boxes of fresh, local veggies are distributed directly to schools in Marin. Afterward, gleaners can pick a round for themselves. (You'd be surprised what kids will eat when they've picked it themselves--especially if they've gotten good & muddy in the process.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/01/strawberry-jam500.jpg\" alt=\"strawberry jam\" title=\"strawberry jam\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20854\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Strawberry Jam\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Can It, Brine It, Carve It\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Would-be urban homesteaders have a lot of choices these days.

Put yourself in the knowledgeable hands of \u003ca href=\"http://www.junetaylorjams.com/events/events.htm\">June Taylor\u003c/a>, the British-born queen of marmalades. No one in the Bay Area takes fruit work as seriously (or finds it as fascinating) as Taylor does. At $200 per person, her small, hands-on classes are pricey, but her intelligent, carefully structured how-tos will forever take the guesswork out of your canning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prefer salami to jellies? The nose-to-tail classes in butchery and meat preservation at \u003ca href=\"http://fattedcalf.com/\">Fatted Calf\u003c/a> will expose your sexy inner butcher.

Everything from the eco-sustainability of small-scale meat production to the history of heirloom apples has become food for thought lately. If you're curious as to what the Bay Area's farmers, writers, makers and thinkers are thinking about, check out the calendars at \u003ca href=\"http://civileats.com/category/take-action/kitchen-table-talks-take-action/\">Kitchen Table Talks\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.18reasons.org\">18 Reasons\u003c/a>. Both offer an intriguing roster of thought-provoking events, talks, and panel discussions. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At \u003ca href=\"http://www.headlands.org/index.asp?flashok=true\">Headlands Center for the Arts\u003c/a>, performances, artists' presentations, and gallery talks are often preceded by a communal meal in the old mess hall. Sometimes, however, the meal itself is the event, as local or visiting artists and chefs come together to get inspired by the palette of the windswept, (supposedly) ghost-ridden landscape of the Marin Headlands, using mostly local and mostly organic produce, meats, and fish as their medium. Have more time than money? \u003ca href=\"http://www.headlands.org/article.asp?key=32\">Volunteers\u003c/a> are often needed to help in the kitchen, set up, serve, and clean up. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elsewhere in Marin, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.malt.org/help/volunteer.php\">Marin Agricultural Land Trust (MALT)\u003c/a>, which works to preserve farmland in Marin while educating the public about conservation, is currently accepting volunteers for its two training sessions in January and February.

They're also fun. \"We get volunteers from 18 on up -- at our last event we had eight young adults from the Coast Guard -- and everyone had a good time sharing stories in the kitchen and around a table at a potluck afterwards,\" says Olson. \"There's nothing like food to build community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To learn more about how to start something similar in your area or to sign up for future community canning events, visit \u003ca href=\"http://site.preservesonoma.com/LET_S_PRESERVE.html\">Let's Preserve\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Do you know of similar efforts in your area?

Soft serve that tastes like ice cream is out while creamy swirls that burst with the flavor of real yogurt are in. Shops serving cups of froyo that burst with yogurt's innate natural tartness are opening everywhere. Forget my favorite college flavor of orange, which tasted more like creamy ice cream that had been melded with baby aspirin. Today's frozen yogurt highlights sweet fruit flavors and is enticingly tangy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a few trips to some yogurt shops where four servings cost around $20 -- because let's face it, the new frozen yogurt chains are more expensive than the old ones -- I decided to try making my own concoctions. I found that if you have an ice-cream maker (the kind where you pre-freeze the canister), frozen yogurt is remarkably easy to make. It's also nice to be able to control your own ingredients. You can choose to use organic and nonfat yogurt, or luxuriate in a treat made with creamy whole milk.

This isn't hard to do as homemade froyo tastes so rich and creamy straight out of the ice cream maker that it's easy to eat the whole batch with a few friends. But if you want to freeze it ahead of time, make your batch with whole yogurt. It will be harder than ice cream, but still scoopable. There are also some frozen yogurt recipes out there where you incorporate your yogurt into an egg custard, much as you would when making homemade ice cream.

Although peeling and/or cutting up apples or strawberries can take some time, the jam-making process is generally pretty easy: just boil your fruit with some sugar and maybe a packet of pectin and then can. And, if you're feeling especially lazy, you can avoid sterilizing jars and boiling by simply plunking your cooled preserves into baggies to freeze, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2009/10/01/the-lazy-girls-guide-to-preserving-tomatoes/\">which is what I do with my tomatoes\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, all thoughts about quick and easy preserving changed for me this week.

There were too many to just eat out of hand (although trust me, we did try). So, with literally a bucket or more of ripe raspberries about to go bad, I decided to try my hand at making raspberry jam. Little did I know my jam adventure would take two days, two recipes, and two trips to the store. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Problems\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here were the problems I encountered:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Seeds:\u003c/strong> The first issue to contend with when cooking with raspberries are the tons of little seeds embedded in the berry's flesh. Although I barely notice them when eating the fruit fresh, they take on the consistency of small pellets that settle between the teeth when preserved. Plus there are literally thousands of them in a bucket of berries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watery consistency:\u003c/strong> My other main problem with making raspberry jam is that this fruit has very little substance, so once you cook it down there is hardly any fleshy pulp to turn into jam. Even after I added some pectin, I ended up with something closer to a thick syrup than a jelly or jam. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sweetness:\u003c/strong> My third and final problem with making raspberry jam was the level of sweetness those perfectly-ripe berries imparted. Although I love eating just-picked sweet berries off the vine, they were so sweet that my jam ended up tasting too sweet once I added the sugar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I ended up overcoming all these problems, and learned a lot along the way. I wish someone had told me how to deal with the mess of seeds, lack of substance, and overtly sweet taste of ripe raspberries in jam before I started, but when I tried to look up these problems in my cookbooks and online, there were very few resources that raised these topics. So, if you're interested in making raspberry jam yourself, read on to learn from my mistakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Solutions:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/06/setting-the-pulp-and-seeds-in-cheesecloth.jpg\" alt=\"setting the pulp and seeds in cheesecloth\" title=\"setting the pulp and seeds in cheesecloth\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14166\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seeds: To remove the seeds from your jam, press your strained raspberry mixture through some layers of cheese cloth. You will still end up having some seeds in the preserves, but the majority will be removed. To do this, just place layers of cheese cloth in a large bowl and then pour your strained raspberry and sugar mixture into it. Do this before adding your pectin or any other fruit you may add to your jam. Roll your cheese cloth around the raspberry mixture and then press so the raspberry juice and pulp extract through the cloth but most of the seeds stay inside. Massage and press the cheese cloth until most of the pulp and juice is removed. Be sure to wait until the mixture has cooled enough to handle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watery consistency: \u003c/strong>My jam was so watery that a full pack of pectin plus a half of a pear (which is full of natural pectin) wasn't enough to make a firm jam. I therefore reboiled my preserves the next day with two more whole pears (which I peeled, seeded and grated). This gave my jam a fuller texture so it lays on my toast instead of running off it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sweetness:\u003c/strong> My big mistake here was simply adding too much sugar. Although most recipes added an equal amount of sugar to the berries (and some added 1 1/2 times more sugar to the berries), my berries were so sweet and ripe that they needed far less. Next time I will add a 1/2 cup of sugar to a full cup of berries and then taste the jam to determine if I need more. Fixing my overly sweet jam this time, however, ended up being fairly easy. I just added more pears to the mix in the second round of boiling (on day two). The pears natural pectin really helped thicken the consistency and as the jam was already sweet, I refrained from adding more sugar so the tart and sweet flavors ended up balancing out nicely. This brought me closer to the 1/2 cup sugar/1 cup fruit ratio I should have used to begin with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So now that I've gone through the jam-making trenches, I hope my advice is helpful for anyone out there wanting to make their own jars of homemade raspberry jam. And, although removing the seeds in cheese cloth can make preparing raspberry jam more time intensive than making other preserves, the flavor of ripe raspberries all year is worth it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/06/bucket-of-raspberries.jpg\" alt=\"bucket of raspberries\" title=\"bucket of raspberries\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14167\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Raspberry and Pear Jam\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Makes:\u003c/strong> 6 jars of jam\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4 cups ripe raspberries\u003cbr>\n2 1/2 pears (peeled, seeded, and grated)\u003cbr>\n2 cups sugar (plus more if needed)\u003cbr>\n1 box fruit pectin\u003cbr>\n1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice\u003cbr>\n1/4 cup water\u003cbr>\nCheese cloth\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nPreparation:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1.

Scan the shelves and tell me: how many plastic yogurt containers are in there? If your house is anything like mine, plastic yogurt tubs--the 32-ouncers from Nancy's, Wallaby, or Straus--are your default tupperware, to the point where it can take a few minutes of fridge-shelf lid-popping to find the one that's actually still filled with yogurt and not last week's curried coconut-lentil soup or last night's leftover pad thai.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which makes me a little guilty about the amount of plastic I'm bringing home from \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/good-life-grocery-san-francisco\">Good Life Grocery\u003c/a> week after week in support of my fermented-dairy habit.

Yogurt, like other ferments, makes this protein- and calcium-rich food last a lot longer, while at the same time making it easier to digest. Nomadic Mongolians fermented mare's milk in skin bags kept warm next to the saddle. All over the Mediterranean and the Middle East, yogurt was made from goat, sheep and (to a lesser extent) cow's milk. It could be made thin and tangy for use in marinades and drinks, richer and thicker for dips and sauces. In India, cooling yogurt-based lassi drinks could be salty or sweet, perfumed with aromatic spices or sweetened with pureed ripe mango.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It takes nearly no effort to make yogurt.

A quart of milk is a good amount to start with, along with 2 tablespoons of plain, unflavored yogurt made with live cultures (and preferably without pectin, gelatin, or other thickeners). Heat your milk up to 180 degrees F, until it's just starting to bubble up around the edges. Pour the milk into your clean jar and let it cool, stirring frequently. When it's between 110-115 degrees F, or when it feels just mildly warm to the touch, pour a little out into a small bowl. Whisk in the yogurt, then pour the mixture back into the jar. Whisk to mix, then cover the jar. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You're almost done. The last step is keeping the mixture at a more-or-less steady 110F to 115F for six to eight hours. Putting the jar into a large covered pot of 110-degree water that comes half-way up will work, as long as you periodically re-warm the water. Many people swaddle their jar in a thick towel and put it on top of the fridge or at the back of the stove, anywhere that stays reasonably toasty. That same half-filled pot of warm water could work very nicely stashed in a picnic cooler or styrofoam tub.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the milk sits, the colonies of beneficial bacteria from the initial dose of yogurt will be digesting the lactose in the milk like crazy, kicking off a mad binge of reproduction. After some 6 to 8 hours, the once-fluid milk will be transformed into solid yogurt and a quantity of loose whey. Without stirring, put the jar into the fridge for several hours, so it can cool down and continue to set. Once the yogurt is thoroughly cold, pour off any excess whey, then stir thoroughly. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Try as you might, homemade yogurt is, in my experience, pretty runny. (So is commercial yogurt, if made from only milk, without added gelatin or pectin.) The more consistent your heat source, the better your chance for a more solid yogurt. Full-fat milk makes dreamy-rich yogurt, although I'm perfectly content using 2% milk for everyday use. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once your yogurt is made, you can dress it up in many ways. Spooning it into a colander lined with cheesecloth, a clean tea towel, or several layers of paper towels, then letting it drain overnight in the refrigerator, will give you a fresh yogurt cheese similar to extra-thick Greek yogurt. You can sprinkle your yogurt cheese with herbs and sea salt, or drizzle it with honey and top it with toasted walnuts and oozing-ripe apricots. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or you make your yogurt even runnier by turning it into a soup, like this chilled cucumber soup, drinkable even on the hottest East Bay days. It's also a way to redeem even the biggest, wateriest, seed-strewn cucumbers out of your garden, since the gelatinous seeds are scooped out and tossed, leaving only the cool flesh to be buzzed into a refreshingly frothy, herb-strewn puree. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cool as a Cucumber Soup\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe herbs in here are up to you.

I'm a scholar of spaghetti (and spaghetti westerns), not by any stretch an expert on expressions of culture and community in isolated towns on the American Western front during the latter portion of the 19th century. Still, I imagine that those stores were places where people went to get the things they could not grow, raise, or make for themselves. And they were dependent on them, not just because they ferried along much-needed goods from faraway places, but because they acted as centers of community activity. Residents of a small town might go to the general store to buy flour and end up seeing each other, sharing stories, and bonding. By my amateurish reckoning, it's a pretty good example of community coming together naturally, face-to-face, materializing in a place where needs are met, back when needs couldn't be met anonymously via online shopping or a trip to a big-box retailer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is what I was thinking when, last Thursday, I read a San Francisco Chronicle food section \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/05/27/DDNM1DJT5B.DTL&type=food&tsp=1/\">story\u003c/a> about a \u003ca href=\"http://popupgeneralstore.blogspot.com/\">\"general store\"\u003c/a> popping up, not in some grim mud-slicked alley of \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadwood_(TV_series)\">Deadwood\u003c/a>, but in Oakland, California -- urban epicenter for community-conscious adventures in sustainable food and agriculture. Every few weeks, a revolving cast of Chez Panisse and Eccolo vets set up shop and sell sausages, heat-and-serve entrees, fresh pastas, frozen pizza dough, jams, breads, and ice creams -- high-end convenience foods to stock fridges and freezers for quick dinners and easy lunches. In the piece, Chronicle writer Carol Ness draws parallels between this pop-up and the larger trend of which it is emblematic:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"The store is part of the new phenomenon of temporary eateries, farm stands and even one \"underground market\" that spring up here and there around the Bay Area, sometimes regularly in the same location, sometimes not.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Simultaneously, however, Ness makes an effort to set this new enterprise apart:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\". . .[S]o far the Pop-Up General Store is one of a kind because its wares carry an exceptional pedigree: They're made with pristine ingredients -- Becker Lane pork, Soul Food Farm eggs, Riverdog produce -- by a dozen or so Bay Area chefs, almost all of whom cook or have cooked at Chez Panisse.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>That pedigree, of course, comes at a price the average Oakland resident can't pay. As portrayed, the general store suggests a movable mini-Ferry Building, a stroller-clogged social scene for self-described \"foodies\" swooning over chicken confit and bags of freezer-ready heritage pork gyoza, not a place to do serious shopping. That doesn't necessarily bother me. Elite eating (and shopping) is an articulation of values. I rarely buy shoes, and cheerfully wear the few I own until they fall apart and literally flap off my feet -- all because I'm cheap and don't see the point in having more than a few pairs at a time. I won't, however, buy steaks at Foods Co. By calling their enterprise a \"general store\" though, founders Christopher Lee and Samin Nosrit (well-known East Bay chefs I first encountered reading through Novella Carpenter's \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Farm-City-Education-Urban-Farmer/dp/1594202214/\">Farm City\u003c/a>) are actively trying to evoke the sort of life-sustaining community-generating apparatus that came to my mind the moment I saw Ness's headline -- all while selling boudin blanc for $14 a pound. While such a project might draw attention to certain sections of the community -- producers, chefs, growers -- and bring together others -- hungry food writers, people with money -- the vibe -- however delicious -- doesn't quite jive with the handle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I traveled to Europe for the first time at age thirteen, I remembered what my French teacher had told me about shopping in Europe. The way she described it, there was a little store for everything you wanted. You went to a butcher for meat, a cheese shop for cheese, and a bakery for bread. Vegetables came from a produce store, wine from a wine shop. When my family cooked meals in the small Paris apartment we were renting for our week-long stay, we shopped in this manner, and while getting groceries took longer, I recall loving the process. The cheese-monger had a spotless white coat and an elegant way of severing off the tiny wedge you wanted from a big wax-covered wheel. While the fromagerie was cool, a wash of whites -- eggshell, cream, and snow -- the pâtisserie had a burnished, golden-brown sheen. It was warm and crowded, and I thought oddly of castles upon seeing the jutting spikes of baguettes and rows of pastries lining the windows like toasty battlements. Entering and then leaving these tiny, enveloping works became a weird kind of entertainment, one I cannot associate with shopping in the U.S., unless I'm squeezing through the aisles of Bi-Rite or visiting a farmers' market. Sometimes I wonder if the American culture of shopping -- going one place to get all things, whether it's Safeway or the Ferry Building -- is rooted what once was necessity for people settling at the edge of civilization. Given the choice, I would, naturally, prefer to one-stop-shop at a general store dishing up butternut squash ravioli than one pushing \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardtack\">hardtack\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pemmican\">pemmican\u003c/a>. That would be fun. Nonetheless, the practical ethos of a general store has more in common with gas stations and corner bodegas selling batteries, bottled water, condoms, and medicine (along with porno magazines, booze, and cigarettes) than a D.I.Y. congregation of food-lovers and growers. Despite sourcing products from all over the world, they reflect what the community needs and desires. If only it were \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudin\">boudin\u003c/a> blanc.\u003c/p>\n\n",

I'm a scholar of spaghetti (and spaghetti westerns), not by any stretch an expert on expressions of culture and community in isolated towns on the American Western front during the latter portion of the 19th century. Still, I imagine that those stores were places where people went to get the things they could not grow, raise, or make for themselves. And they were dependent on them, not just because they ferried along much-needed goods from faraway places, but because they acted as centers of community activity. Residents of a small town might go to the general store to buy flour and end up seeing each other, sharing stories, and bonding. By my amateurish reckoning, it's a pretty good example of community coming together naturally, face-to-face, materializing in a place where needs are met, back when needs couldn't be met anonymously via online shopping or a trip to a big-box retailer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is what I was thinking when, last Thursday, I read a San Francisco Chronicle food section \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/05/27/DDNM1DJT5B.DTL&type=food&tsp=1/\">story\u003c/a> about a \u003ca href=\"http://popupgeneralstore.blogspot.com/\">\"general store\"\u003c/a> popping up, not in some grim mud-slicked alley of \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadwood_(TV_series)\">Deadwood\u003c/a>, but in Oakland, California -- urban epicenter for community-conscious adventures in sustainable food and agriculture. Every few weeks, a revolving cast of Chez Panisse and Eccolo vets set up shop and sell sausages, heat-and-serve entrees, fresh pastas, frozen pizza dough, jams, breads, and ice creams -- high-end convenience foods to stock fridges and freezers for quick dinners and easy lunches. In the piece, Chronicle writer Carol Ness draws parallels between this pop-up and the larger trend of which it is emblematic:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"The store is part of the new phenomenon of temporary eateries, farm stands and even one \"underground market\" that spring up here and there around the Bay Area, sometimes regularly in the same location, sometimes not.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Simultaneously, however, Ness makes an effort to set this new enterprise apart:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\". . .[S]o far the Pop-Up General Store is one of a kind because its wares carry an exceptional pedigree: They're made with pristine ingredients -- Becker Lane pork, Soul Food Farm eggs, Riverdog produce -- by a dozen or so Bay Area chefs, almost all of whom cook or have cooked at Chez Panisse.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>That pedigree, of course, comes at a price the average Oakland resident can't pay. As portrayed, the general store suggests a movable mini-Ferry Building, a stroller-clogged social scene for self-described \"foodies\" swooning over chicken confit and bags of freezer-ready heritage pork gyoza, not a place to do serious shopping. That doesn't necessarily bother me. Elite eating (and shopping) is an articulation of values. I rarely buy shoes, and cheerfully wear the few I own until they fall apart and literally flap off my feet -- all because I'm cheap and don't see the point in having more than a few pairs at a time. I won't, however, buy steaks at Foods Co. By calling their enterprise a \"general store\" though, founders Christopher Lee and Samin Nosrit (well-known East Bay chefs I first encountered reading through Novella Carpenter's \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Farm-City-Education-Urban-Farmer/dp/1594202214/\">Farm City\u003c/a>) are actively trying to evoke the sort of life-sustaining community-generating apparatus that came to my mind the moment I saw Ness's headline -- all while selling boudin blanc for $14 a pound. While such a project might draw attention to certain sections of the community -- producers, chefs, growers -- and bring together others -- hungry food writers, people with money -- the vibe -- however delicious -- doesn't quite jive with the handle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The way she described it, there was a little store for everything you wanted. You went to a butcher for meat, a cheese shop for cheese, and a bakery for bread. Vegetables came from a produce store, wine from a wine shop. When my family cooked meals in the small Paris apartment we were renting for our week-long stay, we shopped in this manner, and while getting groceries took longer, I recall loving the process. The cheese-monger had a spotless white coat and an elegant way of severing off the tiny wedge you wanted from a big wax-covered wheel. While the fromagerie was cool, a wash of whites -- eggshell, cream, and snow -- the pâtisserie had a burnished, golden-brown sheen. It was warm and crowded, and I thought oddly of castles upon seeing the jutting spikes of baguettes and rows of pastries lining the windows like toasty battlements. Entering and then leaving these tiny, enveloping works became a weird kind of entertainment, one I cannot associate with shopping in the U.S., unless I'm squeezing through the aisles of Bi-Rite or visiting a farmers' market. Sometimes I wonder if the American culture of shopping -- going one place to get all things, whether it's Safeway or the Ferry Building -- is rooted what once was necessity for people settling at the edge of civilization. Given the choice, I would, naturally, prefer to one-stop-shop at a general store dishing up butternut squash ravioli than one pushing \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardtack\">hardtack\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pemmican\">pemmican\u003c/a>. That would be fun. Nonetheless, the practical ethos of a general store has more in common with gas stations and corner bodegas selling batteries, bottled water, condoms, and medicine (along with porno magazines, booze, and cigarettes) than a D.I.Y. congregation of food-lovers and growers. Despite sourcing products from all over the world, they reflect what the community needs and desires. If only it were \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudin\">boudin\u003c/a> blanc.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
