jam recipes

[Lloyd Smale]

ive always used on line recipes. Ive got a pile of raspberrys cherrys and rubarb. Whats your routine?

I always used the recipes in the Sure-Jel packs. They always worked great, no matter what fruit I used.

grandma used a little bit of water a bunch of sugar, boil in a pan till fruit is soft and incorporated into the sugar, don't let it burn. put in canning jars pour wax on top- that's it. no gelatin or anything else needed.

I follow the Ball Blue Book recipes...

Ball Blue Book and the recipes in the box of Sure-Jell Fruit Pectin .
Using Sure-Jell helps whatever you are making set up and form jam or jelly .
My first attempts at jelly making gave me a bunch of jars of Elderberry syrup ...
my second attempt gave me more syrup ! Something was wrong and I was clueless .
I bought Sure Jell , followed the directions and it's been Jelly and Jam success ever since .
Using it cuts down on cooking times and I haven't had a failed batch yet .

made 12 pints of cherry 12 pints of raspberry and 13 pints of strawberry rhubarb. Still waiting on the peaches to get ripe but i give that away because it doesnt excite me much.

I make three batches of marmalade each year.

I use "JamSetter", Fruit Pectin for all of the batches.

Loyd, peach is my very favorite jam.
How could you possibly:shock: not get excited about it?

I remember mom getting flats of peaches, made jam and pie filling. Now you can't get a decent peach at the grocery store, they are rock hard and never ripen, they just start rotting!

Off Topic My dad was from Blanco, Tx. We would go to a family reunion in late June. Just as the peaches were ripe. We would take Farm Road 1623 out of Blanco, one of the most scenic drives you can imagine. It follows the Blanco River for about a third of the way. Beautiful, the last time I went there. You end up in Stonewall, where they have a big peach market, Burg's Corner. https://burgscorner.com/ We would buy flats of peaches, bring them home and make peach preserves and jam. YUM!!!! One of these days, I'm going back, spend some time in Blanco, remembering good times and good people. Go and get a flat and do it again, remembering my Dad and Mom.

I just follow the recipe book.

They are in "Country Women's Association", "Preserves".

We have really good peaches not too far away. Was at a craft fair with the wife and one place had brandied peach jam. Not a peach jam person, but this was good. Another tent had some roasted ghost salsa. Bought a jar and tried it when I got home. The roasting must have take a bit of the fire away as not as hot as I was expecting, but it also had one of the best flavors I have ever had from a salsa. Still pretty hot, about habenero level. Wish I had bought a half dozen jars!!

i like a fresh peach to eat right off the tree but canned peaches and peach jam just dont excite me.
