Apple chutney bruschetta has quickly become our favorite fall appetizer. Made with fresh apples and dried fruit, this chutney is good on everything from crostini to baked chicken or a pork roast.

Black and Blueberry Freezer Jam Recipe

Black and Blueberry Freezer Jam is quick, easy and delicious. It is a great recipe for those new to canning, as it doesn’t require much fussing about. For a quick tutorial on traditional jam, check out my strawberry key lime jam recipe.
