Plum Ketchup
Homemade plum ketchup
This plum ketchup is lightly spiced and sweet and sour. It is a versatile sauce that works well with roasts, cheeses, salads, burgers, and chips. Transforming and preserving is something I enjoy.

Pere cotte all'alchermes
Alchermes poached pears filled with mascarpone cream
Poached pears in alchermes, and cooked fruit in general, recall me the old-fashioned cuisine. When fruit, stored in boxes for the winter, was always present on the table. Fresh and in season, or cooked. Today, I eat less fruit than I used to and, consequently, buy less. And to think that until a few decades ago, when I…
