Sorry wrong forum just saw the canning one, was going to move it but cannot figure out how.
Well I never thought this day would come but I have made jam and at first I thought lots of jam but with the speed it is disappearing I think I did not make as much as I thought I did. I needed some jam for my fruit explosion muffins and I made a fruit filling for them before but I wanted to try my hand at making jams. I am glad I did it is fairly easy, low price entry point and when the fruit is in season it is cheap to make. I tweaked the jams a lot by adding more fruit and less sugar. It was my first time trying it.
I made blueberry, strawberry, a blueberry/strawberry mix jams and then I made a cherry sauce as well. I will never make lots but it is a fun and easy way to get jam and not having to buy it. People are loving it, I thought I had enough for a year but in the week or so half has been given away or eaten and those I gave it to have asked for more but I am not planning on making it often. I was just planning on making enough for my needs. With University starting and other things I have on the go it has been very, very busy lately so I am surprised I was able to fit making jam into it lol.
