This plant-based sweet dip is a versatile recipe you’ll come back to again and again. Dunk fresh berries in it or spoon it into parfaits. Use it as a substitute for whipped cream or frosting. Try freezing the cream and eating it like ice cream.

SMALL-BATCH RASPBERRY VANILLA JAM WITH BLACK PEPPER
(Edible Indy, Spring 2014)
recipe: Suzanne Krowiak | photography: Jennifer L. Rubenstein
Nothing is better on a weekend morning than toast with homemade jam. Not only does it taste delicious, it’s one of the prettiest things you can put on your table.
The great news is that you don’t have to know how to can food or have buckets of fresh fruit to get started. Small-batch jam is perfect for people who want to pick up a small amount of produce at the farmers market or grocery and have something on the table within 30 minutes.
