Blood oranges zest my world

blood oranges, before the slaughter

Blood oranges don’t need a sell, they’re perfect: tart, sweet, and bitter. The taste makes you feel enlivened and awake as the best citrus does. I’ve kept it simple and haven’t added any complex flavors. Pure. Simple. Good.

I posted my recipe last year, but decided to skip the addition of [...]

Flavor of the week: smoked salt

Lately I’ve become obsessed with spices. As the winter drags on and the snow piles up outside, there is a longing for flavor that seems to permeate the stomachs of New York City. In the kitchen of Chestnut where I cook,  Carla the pastry chef and I sigh with boredom at the sight of more [...]

Key lime and smoked salt marmalade

This key lime marmalade with smoked salt is a perfect blend of sweet, sour, bitter and salty! For people who tend to like savory flavors, this is your kind of jam.The smoked salt adds jsut the extra zing that the limes beg for. It conjures up the warm days of summer, sipping a [...]

Jam Queen Takes a Bow

liv manfredi, jam queen extraordinaire

We at Anarchy would like to bid bon voyage to Liv Manfredi, who is taking a hiatus from jam making while she travels the world giving people wine.

From January through March, the winter Brooklyn Flea is taking place in the beautiful Williamsburg Savings Bank at One Hanson Place. The building is amazing, and I highly recommend visiting it while you can [...]

Limes for a rainy day

whoa, look at those green hotties!

We’re hoping the new iPhone 4G comes with a scent feature. This post would be much sweeter if you could share in the divine scent that wafts through the kitchen as the limes are cooked into marmalade. Jose, who works alongside us in the kitchen at [...]

“the people’s jam”

jammin to the beat at the brooklyn flea in DUMBO

Rose Spaziani wrote a nice article about us in the inaugural edition of her new zine, Pivot.

The little glass pots with whimsical names draw marketgoers whose
murmurs taper in unanimous “mmm’s…”

Did I really say, “It’s a very populist jam”? Wow.

Thanks, Rose, it’s a great magazine!

How to Jam #2: Sweet & Punchy Poached Eggs

Laena's sexy eggs

I (Laena) claimed on the radio last week that breakfast was the best and sexiest date meal. I rallied for it not only because it’s so easy to incorporate jam, but because I truly believe breakfast is a great place to be creative, cozy and fun in the kitchen. If it’s a [...]
