Well, not in any actual jam, but I'm in a jam making frenzy! Ever since I discovered the Microwave Berry Jam on King Arthur Flour's Blog, we've had fresh jam. It started innocently enough with strawberry jam a few days ago, some raspberry yesterday, and most likely, some blueberry today. I figured it would be good, but I didn't realize how good it would be! This sounds kind of stupid, but it just tastes so fresh, like just 15 minutes ago it was a pint of berries or something... Oh, wait! It was!
I've been wanting to learn how to can lately but have been completely overwhelmed by everything that goes into it. I then decided that freezer jam would be a good place to start; I've even gotten the special little jars for it already. However, the very next day, the King Arthur Flour site had the answer of where I should start. Freezer jams and 'real' canning are still on the horizon, but this will tide me over for a short while, especially once the local peach season begins!
Thank you for sharing with your Mom! <3
