Pistachio lovers… this one’s for you: with a green and nutty pistachio flavored filling, creamy sour cream topping, and a sweet and salty pistachio cookie crust.
Gorgeous and green and oh-so-delicious, this pistachio cheesecake is made with sour cream in the filling for a silky smooth texture, plus a sour cream topping for a perfectly creamy finish (no water bath necessary!)
Now that you’ve got a batch of homemade pistachio butter in your fridge (assuming, of course, that you haven’t completely devoured it yet), this pistachio cheesecake is the perfect use for it.
The cheesecake filling is incredibly simple, made from cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, whole eggs, and pistachio butter for flavor and color. Each bite is super creamy (dare I say, the creamiest) and with a nutty, buttery pistachio flavor that contrasts perfectly with the tangy cream cheese.
For even more pistachio flavor (because if some is good, more is better) I added chopped nuts to the crust, and sprinkled even more chopped pistachios on top for garnish, so every bite is chock full of pistachio flavor.
A classic key lime pie with a mango twist, tart and tangy and velvety smooth, nestled in a sweet and salty graham cracker crust (with a surprise kick of spice). Topped with a squiggle of fresh whipped cream and gorgeous edible mango flowers, it makes for a truly stunning presentation.
Talk about gorgeous: this mango lime tart is dressed to impress, but you’ll be surprised how easy it is to prepare. Make it a day ahead of time to be sure it has plenty of time to set before slicing and serving.

Imagine, if you will a key lime tart… bright and tangy and perfectly sweet, rich and creamy and melt-in-your-mouth smooth. Now add mango and prepare to swoon.
This tart and tangy mango lime tart (you could say it’s a… tart tart.) features an ultra creamy mango lime custard filling nestled in a sweet and salty graham cracker crust with a pinch of cayenne that makes for a spicy surprise. Top that with a touch of freshly whipped cream and you have yourself one tasty tropical treat your tastebuds (not to mention your eyes) will treasure.
Can you believe it’s been 7 years since I first released That’s My Jam? (The fact that it’s been 11 years since Cookie Dough Lover’s and Breakfast for Dinner is even more unbelievable.)
I figured it the time was ripe for an update (pun intended).
The new version is updated and expanded with a dozen new recipes that didn’t make it in the 1st edition, including 5 brand new and exclusive jam recipes you won’t see anywhere else. I also added an entire new chapter called Shoulder Season, showcasing jams and jellies that combine fruits and flavors from different seasons (like apple/rose and blueberry/Meyer lemon).
In addition, all recipes have now been updated to include metric measurements (hooray!), there’s a gorgeous new cover, and the whole thing has been redesigned and reformatted for print.
You heard me right… print.
Yep, that’s right, you can now get an actual, physical, gorgeous hardcover copy of That’s My Jam for your kitchen library! I personally prefer cooking from a physical book instead of a digital pdf or website, so this was partially a selfish decision so I’d have a hard copy for my own kitchen. But I hope you love it too. :)
This whole process took me way longer than I initially anticipated which is why this is launching now and not at the beginning of canning season like I’d originally hoped. But the whole point of the book is that every season is canning season, right?
Of course, the fact I decided to give the book a design makeover, add metric measurements for all the recipes, and add half a dozen brand new recipes was part of the reason. But the final result is so worth it!
The gorgeous 172-page hardcover book is currently only available through my site, available for both US and International shipping (please note the book was briefly listed on Amazon/B&N/etc but the quality was so crummy I ultimately decided to print it elsewhere and just sell it myself, so if you see it there please don’t buy that version).

I am so excited to finally be able to offer a hardcover version of this book, and hope you are too!
Because I am handling all shipping and fulfillment myself, estimated ship time is currently 2-3 weeks (and I appreciate your patience here as I’m not Amazon). While this isn’t ideal, it was the best way for me to be able to offer a high quality printed book at a reasonable price.
Of course, I’ll still be offering plenty of jam and canning recipes here on the blog (I’ve got no shortage of ideas for new and unique combinations). Please visit the canning recipes archive for all the past published recipes, plus the freebies & printables archives for all the recipes with free printable labels available (I also hope to start offering more editable Canva templates here in the near future).
Pistachio butter may not be as ubiquitous as peanut or almond butter, but it is by far my favorite of all the nut butters, with its gorgeous green hue and unique nutty flavor. Making your own is surprisingly easy: all you need are pistachios and a food processor or high-powdered blender.
I tested half a dozen batches of homemade pistachio butter so you don’t have to! I experimented with various methods including blanching and toasting the nuts, different appliances, and a few different types of pistachios to determine the best and easiest way to make the creamiest, greenest pistachio butter ever.
Pistachio butter has become a staple around these parts (you could say I’m going through a bit of a pistachio phase right now), and I’ve been using it regularly in recipes, some of which require multiple rounds of testing. So, needless to say, I’ve been going through a lot of pistachio butter.
I had been buying jars of pre-made pistachio butter for my recipe testing, but it’s not cheap, nor is it very consistent in terms of color (and while that might not matter to you, when I want a beautifully photographed pistachio recipe, that iconic green color is very important, we eat with our eyes first after all!)
