It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

If you can get your hands on some ripe Japanese satsuma plums, take advantage and make some jelly. Nothing complicated, just a sweet, pectin-thickened jelly to make some exceptional morning toast.

5 pounds Japanese plums, crushed
1 cup water
6 cups sugar
1/2 bottle (6 ounce size) liquid pectin
Heat plums and water to boiling in Dutch oven; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Strain but do not press pulp through strainer. Strain juice through 2 thicknesses of cheesecloth. Mix 3 cups plum juice and the sugar. Heat, stirring constantly, to full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down. Add pectin. Heat to full rolling boil. Boil 1 minute; remove from heat. Quickly skim off foam. Immediately pour jelly into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Wipe rims. Seal as directed

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
