The Local Food Report
As we re-imagine our relationships to what we eat, Local Food Report creator Elspeth Hay takes us to the heart of the local food movement to talk with growers, harvesters, processors, cooks, policy makers and visionaries

In Wellfleet, a Beach Plum Jelly Recipe From 1932

Elspeth Hay

    

Wild beach plums are common on dunes across the Cape. This week on the Local Food Report, Elspeth Hay talks with a family in Wellfleet that's been making and selling beach plum jelly since 1932. You can learn more about the wild beach plum and efforts to tame it over here, and Elspeth's put up her family recipe for beach plum jelly on her blog.

An avid locavore, Elspeth lives in Wellfleet and writes a blog about food. Elspeth is constantly exploring the Cape, Islands, and South Coast and all our farmer's markets to find out what's good, what's growing and what to do with it. Her Local Food Report airs Thursdays at 8:30 on Morning Edition and 5:45pm on All Things Considered, as well as Saturday mornings at 9:30.
