The D. Leibovitz marmalade I finished last night was exceptionally delicious! I added more sugar than the recipe called for since I canned 2 of the 5 jars. A beautiful soft set, and for only a couple of lemons, very nice lemon flavor. 👍🏼👍🏼 #marmalade #lemon #kumquat #caracara #orange #preserves #inthenightkitchen

This could be the best sandwich ever: #cranbuck bread toasted and topped with a #sunnysideup #egg , quick ghee-fried #asparagus, #marmalade, #jarlsberg , and my inaugural use or @yellowbirdsauce . I smashed the whole thing together and ate with a damp napkin 😍 👌🏼 #lunchable #sandwich #putaneggonit #acaseofthemondays

More snow = more marmalade. Taking @davidlebovitz ‘s kumquat-lemon for a spin, with a couple cara cara oranges for good measure. I’m betting this will be perfect on the Cranbuck bread... #weekending #preserving #marmalade #kumquat #lemon #orange #citrusseason

First @sisterpiedetroit pie: a slightly modified sour cherry bourbon pie. I used hoarded home-canned Wisco sour cherries that I drained well, and reduced the amount of sugar since they were in light syrup. Pie dough is the first go with their recipe, but @wiltongina always taught me to add vinegar to pie dough so I always have. 😊 #mmmpie #bake #pie #weekending #latice #pastry #sourcherry #nofilter

@breadwright ‘s buckwheat infused cranberry hybrid sourdough (a.k.a. Cranbuck). I couldn’t bake them in cast iron as I usually do because of the shape, and the crust is lacking but the loaves smell pretty amazing. (I haven’t made batards in forever so I struggled with that too.) I’m systematically baking through that book; the recipes never disappoint! #cookyourbooks #wildyeast #sourdough #commercialyeast #buckwheat #cranberry #bake #bread

This is what day 11 of good bread looks like. Into the toaster and lunch is done and dusted. #sourdough #bake #wildbread #wellfermented #toast #breadlife
