It’s been a quiet week in the Food in Jars Flickr pool, so I thought I’d swap in a few links for the normal Sunday night photo feature (it’ll be back next week!).
- I am officially obsessed with pears. I can’t stop thinking about this liqueur.
- Friday night, Scott and I took a late-night walk around Philadelphia and I spotted a rosebush heavy with hips in an untended lot. I want to sneak back so that I can make this rosehip syrup.
- Sam Sifton makes me want to fry a turkey.
- Three tips for crisper pickles. Good advice!
- Speaking of pickles, here are things you can do with the ones in your fridge! Nice post, Well Preserved!
- Fig, pistachio and goat cheese danish. Without fail, I always want to eat the things that Deena posts to Mostly Foodstuffs.
- Autumn made a gorgeous quince buckle. Since I’ve already roasted the quince in the picture above, I think I must get more before the season ends.
- Tis the season for homemade chai.
- Concord grape chutney. I’ve been in love with persimmon chutney lately, but I think I must add this to my line-up.
- I spent Saturday at TECHmunch Philly. Madame Fromage was there too and wrote a very nice post about the experience.
- An illustrated guide to persimmons. I love this and wish someone would print it on a poster.

I hope that everyone who’s out there in the path of Hurricane Sandy is secure and ready for the storm. Please be safe!
For crisper pickles, do you ever use the pickle crisping mix Ball makes?
Thanks for posting a link to my rose hip syrup! I’m so glad you found a bush of your own. I’m really enjoying my hip rose soda! (Get it? Ha!)
Marissa, thanks for the links, esp the rose hip one – through that link, I found a couple of other cool blogs and recipes for rose hips!
