Fresh Cranberry–Orange Jam with Apple, Ginger & Cinnamon
This cranberry jam is my upgraded version of classic cranberry sauce — fresh, bright, and lightly sweet with oranges, apples, ginger, and cinnamon. The apple adds natural pectin, and a spoonful of Collagelatin gives the jam a beautiful, spoonable texture without tons of sugar. It’s the perfect balance of tart and cozy, and tastes incredible on turkey, gluten-free bread, muffins, crackers, or even swirled into yogurt. Simple, clean ingredients with so much holiday flavor.
Autumn Foods: Nourishing Balance in Vata Season
As the air turns crisp and the leaves surrender their vibrant colors to the earth, our bodies, too, feel the shift of autumn. In Ayurveda, fall is governed by Vata dosha, marked by qualities of dryness, lightness, coldness, and movement. To stay grounded and resilient in this season of transition, we must look to foods that bring warmth, moisture, stability, and nourishment.
This is the wisdom of autumn eating: aligning with the season so your body feels supported, not depleted.
