Ukrainian Pine Cone Jam

Pine cones can be eaten, but only while they’re young and tender. Mom Cooks Jam preserves those soft green cones in a family recipe that traveled from Georgia: the maker’s grandmother gathers them in the forest, and his mother cooks them with sugar and water. The result is a dark, glossy syrup with a sweet, resinous pine flavor and whole cones that soften into chewy, candied bites. Spoon a cone with its syrup over creamy goat cheese or brie, or stir it into hot tea.
