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).
