Never Say “Yuck” to Green Tomato Jam!
Personally, I like Green Tomato Jam on toast. An artisan grain bread toasted with butter and a savory Green Tomato Jam. Also, I enjoy it as a cheese pairing with a tangy sharp cheese, the sharper the better!

If you are planning on enjoying these for breakfast consider serving with a plain yogurt sauce. If dessert is more to your liking, they are wonderful with fresh whipped cream and some dark chocolate shavings.
Raspberry Ricotta Pie
I set out to make a pie yesterday with things I had lying around since there was no time for a trip to the store. Plus, as I said, I tend to dive into an endeavor at a moment’s notice. It’s good for me to have recipes in my arsenal that are terrific and rely on pantry and fridge staples.
