Hot Pepper Jelly
I know these aren't bell peppers, but the key to this recipe is to make it with red jalapenos - I love their flavor, and I set out trying to make a jelly that captured that flavor, with just the right amount of spice that wouldn’t overwhelm it. Not too sweet, not too spicy, SO much peppery goodness. - apartmentcooker

Wild Maine Blueberry Jam
Making homemade blueberry jam is a wonderful way to extend the wild blueberry seasons. This recipe is as easy as it is delicious! Double it for large batches.
Greens on Fire
I learned this technique for grilling broccoli rabe in Judy Rodgers' Zuni Cafe Cookbook. It's fast, easy, and allows you to cook greens in the summer without using your stove (though you will need a grill). The same basic method also works great for radicchio (sliced into quarters) or Belgian endive (sliced in half lengthwise).

Bette à carde "Cymbeline"
I once worked in the chateau of a rich industrialist who grew up in poverty. He adored his bette à carde (Swiss chard), which reminded him of his childhood friend, a goat named Cymbeline.

Sweet Beet Straws
We grew beets in the garden this year and we've tried to make the most of each plant, from root to leaf. I usually saute the stems with the greens, but tried something different one night and it was a hit. (NOTE: This recipe is just for the stems - the beet greens get sauted in olive oil and shallots, and the roots get sliced, splashed with olive oil and balsamic, wrapped in foil and roasted at 450 degrees for about an hour.)

Calvo Nero salad
I was sick of romaine and iceberg! I wanted a salad that was hearty enough to survive the commute to work, full of iron and nutrition so that I didn't have to boil broccoli as often, and easy to prepare and be versatile! I stumbled upon a discounted back of calvo nero kale at the store and thought, "Hmm, what's this?" A quick search found that I could steam it -- and it's been a favorite ever since.

Rye Sourdough
The recipe for this tasty and simple rye sourdough bread is in grams. It calls for bread and rye flour, active sourdough starter, salt and water.

1948 Tomato Preserves
These 1948 tomato preserves are delicious. I put it on toast for breakfast or as an afternoon snack. The lemon peel tastes like candy. This recipe is divine.

Buttermilk Vinaigrette
This simple buttermilk vinaigrette recipe is a cinch to make, and it tastes great on almost any salad. It's a great alternative to the classic dressing.
