Ingredients

For the Cornbread:

  • 1 1/4 cups coarsely ground cornmeal
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, melted

For the Jam:

Directions

Make the cornbread: Place a 9-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk in the milk, buttermilk, eggs and almost all of the melted butter, reserving about 1 tablespoon for brushing the skillet.

Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and brush the bottom and sides with the reserved melted butter. Pour the batter into the skillet, return to the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 10 to 15 minutes, then sprinkle lightly with sugar for texture.

Meanwhile, make the jam: Cut the strawberries width-wise into 1/4-inch-thick slices (the slices should be thin enough to bend slightly). Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from 1/3 of the lemon with a light touch, leaving the pith behind; transfer to a large bowl. Squeeze the lemon juice into the bowl. Add the orange juice, salt, sugar and strawberries and toss. Cover and refrigerate until the cornbread is out of the oven.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the strawberry mixture and cook, stirring, until the juices reduce and thicken slightly, about 10 minutes. Slice the cornbread and serve with the strawberry jam.

    I've been making a cornbread stuffing for Thanksgiving for many years and have tried several different recipes- no more. This one has turned out just great. I don't use sugar as it's a savory cornbread and I add herbs to flavor it. The texture and basic flavor is tops. My new recipe.

    I was making Chili yesterday and wanted cornbread to go with. Searched for a recipe and when I saw Alex I knew I could not go wrong. I LOVE you and your SHOW - record it and watch it ALWAYS. I read all the reviews and just knew by everyone's comments "this was THE CORNBREAD" to make.(if you said dry - you did something wrong, it was anything but DRY! All were correct - THIS WAS THE BEST BEST CORNBREAD EVER - I am adding it to my recipe box and my Husband absolutely LOVED it - said "this is the best cornbread I ever tasted". YUM - YUM AND YUM ALEX - THANK YOU !!!!!!!
