Will have photos of the results tomorrow.

Can't wait to see what ta fixed! I've got more that needs doing!

I’ve got a mulberry tree in our backyard. I’ll see if I can make some jam!

Entry #2

Natural Pectin Peach Jam

For some reason I have a terrible time with jam made with Sure-Jell or Certo but when I make natural pectin jams with nothing but fruit, sugar, and maybe a lemon to add extra acidity I get terrific jam every time. Go figure.

2 bushels of peaches with only 4 bad ones in the bottom and some pulled out for eating made 12 quarts of halves, 8 pints of slices, and 8 half-pint jars of jam -- with the usual custard cup of extra jam because I don't have any mini-jars.

A few jars of pickling cucumbers.
We’ve been getting a few done every day.
