Wednesday

time to jam~

Every year around this time I put on the 70's classic rock vinyls and jam.
Not just to the tunes... but to the berries.

First...
Get the raspberries out of the freezer and into the kettle.

Next..Stir up a little SureJell with water~
Add that to the berries that I smashed up and drained half the seeds off with some sugar ...
Boil away.
Do it again...
This time I'll dice up some apples ~
Throw some heat to them ... mash them with the smasher ...  add a little secret ingredient or two ~
and presto!
A couple hours later ...
I have two batches of Raspberry Jam and two batches of Carmel Apple Jam sitting on the table waiting for some labels. 
That was fun!  Tomorrow I'm doing it all over again with some blueberries, strawberries and rhubarb.

  5. So funny, A few days ago I noticed that my rhubarb plants are pokiing through the ground, so I pulled what was left of last years rhubarb out of the freezer ~ baked a cake and made up some sauce. Apples are next!

  8. Your jam looks wonderful Mel, the carmel apple jam really caught my eye as I am always looking for another way to use the apples that we get each fall from our trees. And I have to admit I never thought about just freezing the fruit and making the jam NOW when a person actually would have the time! Your so smart!!
