These Salty Oats - Adventures in Canning: Rhubarb Jam. I fear I may be too late on this post...but I'll share this recipe anyways, in case you spot some rhubarb at the market this weekend.
I've seen a few stalks lying around here and there--at this point in the season they're small and not that appealing looking but I can almost guarantee they'd still make good jam. We've tackled rhubarb in a number of ways this year, including a few unsuccessful entree attempts. Unlike the Italians, who seem to enjoy rhubarb in a multiple different entree forms, I prefer adding sugar to balance out the vegetable's tartness.
I wanted to preserve this spring's amazing rhubarb crop, so a few weekends ago we made a huge batch of rhubarb jam. I was inspired by the rhubarb jam we heaped onto homemade bread during breakfast at Portland's Ace Hotel. I've stashed a number of these jars away, so we can enjoy that delicious vegetal taste of rhubarb all summer and fall. Recipe Adapted from The Blue Chair Jam Cookbook Ingredients: 2 3/4 lbs white cane sugar Directions: A CrossFit Workout For Beginners. Have you gotten on the CrossFit bandwagon?
Many celebrities are fans of CrossFit, and it's becoming more and more popular as a way to get results fast without being bored. Mel Ockerby is one such fan. The former gymnast started CrossFit training just two and a half years ago and now spends her days challenging herself and others as a Puma trainer and member of the reigning champion team in the Reebok CrossFit Games (I took a 12-minute workout with her last month, courtesy of Puma, and let me tell you, she knows what she's doing). I recently spoke to her about how she got into CrossFit, and asked her to share a bikini-ready workout with us.
