New Canaan Farms Texas Red Plum Jam

There's something wonderful about a good old-fashioned plum jam, and New Canaan Farms Texas Red Plum Jam brings that familiar homemade flavor to the table. Made with red plums, it has a rich fruit sweetness balanced by a pleasant tartness that makes it just as delicious in savory dishes as it is on warm toast.

Spread it on a buttery biscuit, spoon it over pancakes, or swirl it into plain yogurt with a little granola. It's also lovely tucked into thumbprint cookies, layered between cakes, or warmed and brushed over freshly baked muffins.

But don't save this one just for breakfast. Mix a few spoonfuls with Dijon mustard and soy sauce for a glaze on roasted pork or chicken. You can also whisk it with orange juice, olive oil, and garlic for a fruity marinade, or stir a little into your next stir-fry sauce.

A jar of good plum jam can do quite a bit more than sit beside the toaster.
