Honeyed Plum-Cardamom Jelly
If you’re lucky enough to have a plum tree (or have a friend who does), and you have access to a good quantity of fresh plums in season, give this gorgeous, deep-purple jelly a try. Laced with the subtle, quietly complex flavor of cardamom, this jelly is a sophisticated accompaniment to scones at breakfast or afternoon tea.
