Does anyone out there make jam?

Thank you so much, this will get made by the weekend.

Did you try that sweet pepper jam? What were your results?

Picking them today, sorry I had some unexpected projects, come up. Found out some of my wax peppers turn clear red. I have had a lot of orange ones before. Pickling some with garlic too. I'll keep you posted.

I finally used the plums, with more frozen blueberries, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg, to make jam. It's good!
Also made mixed berry freezer jam, also good.
I'm done for now, although more marmalade could happen later this fall...

Well I have two pints of processed peppers in the fridge, turns out I still had 25 lbs of peppers left on on the glean pick. 1-1/2 gallons of saracha started, and two gallons of lacto-fermented pepper rings, and a bunch of anchos in the dehydrator, those two batches of jam are waiting till tomorrow evening. Lol I am doing one with 50/50 yellow and red and one batch all red. Looking forward to it, sound good.

Better late than never huh?
Thank you Sir, it came out great, even with my major duh moment.
Both batches set up well, I should have taken a picture of the foam/test plate, for some reason it disappeared, just an empty plate left . Color of the jam itself is pretty well indistinguishable between the half red/yellow and the all red, I can taste just a little more bit in the red. I think even the boss will be OK with it, mine like yours doesn't go for spicy.

I got five "half pints" each batch, but I am pretty sure the little honey pots might be metric. Those smaller metric ones used to irk me so bad doing "quarts" with new jars.

My major DUH moment, I used a jar of pectin, it has basically three boxes worth in it. I measured out for the first batch, and then derr.... I dumped the rest of the jar in instead of what I measured. I carefully scooped out a batch worth, and used it for the second round.
