Doing it at Home

[Pedal_On55]

Where is a good recipe on the net or book that I can get to guide me away from
killing myself with some spore that might grow if I did it the wrong way?

You can always check out the SureJell site, they even have tips to help with making jam
You know divingbiker i like to give them as gifts too!
my family eats it all up!


I've never heard of pear honey before
any good???

I have some blackberries and blueberries in my freezer waiting for it to cool down enough to make jam ("preserves"). How come when the fruit is ripe, it's too dang hot to cook?

Had rhubarb-strawberry-ginger on my toast this morning. Can't buy that in a store!

I totally agree bmccasland, my co-worker made this Strawberry jam recipe that she
got from the SureJell box, but she added some lemon juice to the mix, and it tasted
just like Strawberry lemonade....soooo tasty!

I just polished off a jar of rhubarb-ginger this morning that I got from the farmers market. Mmm....delicious! The guy selling jam makes all kinds interesting combinations and they all taste good. Also bought some very yummy marmalade the last few times i've been, made from a variety of citrus fruits.

I do make lots of jam myself. Made a batch of strawberry sauce (jam that didn't quite set) earlier in the summer and it is delicious, especially stirred into some vanilla yogurt! Last fall I made lots of apple butter which I gave away as christmas presents. People seemed to like it. Also made some blackcurrant jam last year that turned out a little on the tart side, but tasted delicious on toast along with some very sweet Norwegian brown cheese. Plan on picking more black currants this year if I can only find the time. And I'll be making blackberry jam once the berries ripen. Not quite jam, but once the damsons and sloes ripen we'll be making some fruity gins too this year (at least that's the plan).
