I bet you thought I was talking about music, didn’t you? Well, I was literally jammin’ … making jam. What a great feeling of accomplishment making homemade jam from market fresh or hand-picked berries or fruit. Yesterday was a perfect day to spend the small amount of time to produce a shelf full of delicious jam.
Regular readers (oh my, I’m sure most of you have withered away since I’ve been so delinquent in making posts) may recall when I made some AMAZING marmalade back in March. Ever since I bought a copy of The Complete Book of Small-Batch Preserving
If you’re wondering what kind of jam I made yesterday, it was raspberry/blueberry. I added some orange and orange zest and wow does that make it sing — hey, now we’re jammin’!
That looks delicious. I need to make some blueberry jam.
Hi Diane – been thinking of you lately and wondering…how is that girl??? Now I see you’ve been busy. I’ve been picking raspberries too (blogged about it this week), but no time to make jam yet. And if there was, I am sure mine would never be as beautiful as yours. 🙂
But…hmm…blueberries, orange…I think I might try.
Wow — your jam looks absolutely wonderful! And the photos themselves are lovely (as usual) as well! Happy “jammin'”!
Hi Diane,
Nice to see you up and posting! But I’m sure one to talk. If I get two up a month now I’m lucky. There are a few aunts that still like to keep up with my news and some others faithfully follow no matter how remiss I am.
I made strawberry jam the other day. So yummy. I made it especially for when I serve scones as normally I’m not a jam eater. One always thinks, “oh the work”, but when it is done there is such a sense of accomplishment … one of our rewards for the work.
