[ILC Spotlight](3D) August 2, 2019  New Cooking Class — Just Released! [Farmers Market Cooking]( Learn to make your favorite farmers market and state fair treats in this exciting new episode. From the Cooking Class: Farmers Market Cooking [Subscribe now.]( Dear Basic Member, Warm weather is all about outdoor foods at your local farmers market or state fair. Your local market is a great place to stock up on fresh, interesting produce, talk to local sellers, and find your favorite homemade baked goods. I certainly have plenty of my favorites, and in this episode, I’ll share with you how to make them in your own kitchen. Fresh, handmade jam and delicious apple butter are always a hit, especially when you store them in an adorable Mason jar. If you want a sweet treat for a bake sale or birthday party, you can’t beat these cute handheld cake pops. The caramel apple recipe is full of nostalgic flavors, while candied popcorn balls are an exciting way to share kitchen time with your kids. The Farmers Market Cooking episode gives you five complete recipes that are sure to become regulars at your house, just like they are at mine. And like every episode, you get the streaming video, as well as a full-color digital cookbook with each recipe and pictures of all five dishes. And that all comes with instant access to a growing library of cooking TV shows, magazine issues, and cookbooks when you join me, Chef Addie Gundry, for RecipeLion’s Farmers Market Cooking episode. [Subscribe now.]( There’s something almost mythical about homemade jam. The truth, however, is that good jam only needs one secret ingredient to make it amazingly delectable: time. This Mason Jar Jam recipe is about as easy as it gets. You only need three ingredients and enough time to let the jam simmer. Even better, you can use almost any kind of fruit you want, from fresh raspberries to frozen blackberries to peaches. I’m mixing blueberries and strawberries in this recipe, but go with your favorite flavors, and you’ll be amazed at how deliciously simple this is to make. Start by heating up your fruit, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce your heat to a low simmer. Watch as the fruit cooks down and gets thicker in stages, and mash the fruit. It’s that simple. All you need is time. When you first remove the jam from the stove, it may look a little thin, but it will thicken as it chills. I like to place it in a jar and let it cool in the refrigerator. Serve it with homemade biscuits tomorrow morning for a real treat. Easy, delicious, and since you’re making it, it can be as sweet (or not) as you want.  [Subscribe now.]( [Upgrade Now!](  Watch Farmers Market Cooking right now—and get instant access to hundreds more recipes in the [RecipeLion Gold Club’s library]( of cooking TV shows, magazines, and cookbooks that come with your membership.

Not only will you be able to make homemade jam, you’ll also get the recipes for: - Homemade Apple Butter—Apple butter is one of those classic recipes that almost everyone loves. Like the jam, the most important ingredient here is time, but most of that is hands-off except for occasional stirring. Put it in a jar with some ribbon and you have a gorgeous, handmade gift.  - Handheld Cake Pops—The beauty of these is that they’re easy to color any way you want, so this recipe works for any holiday, theme party, sporting event, or school fundraiser.
