Homemade Jam! By Sara and Kristy?!!?


You bet! This is jam made by myself and Kristy. On the right we have Banana/strawberry freezer jam (no cooking required, was the first one we tried, very sugary, bit runny but excellent in taste! Today we tried boiling one of the batches to see if it would make it less granular, seemed to work, but even on its own, sugar and all...it is delicious!)








Next we have a close up of the raspberry jam we made today. It is excellent in consistency, taste and looks! Very proud of ourselves. Even though we were 5 minutes late putting the pectin, we've found jam to be pretty forgiving.












Here is a closer view of our freezer jam...and the jar just to the left of it is the one we tried boiling to reduce the granular sugar consistency. Seems to have helped a bit.












Proper jars and labels too, plus....all of our jars sealed properly, even the ones that weren't full completely. So amazing, we had fun (even though when we had kicked all extras out of the kitchen, I heard Nelson (our international student) ask John why we had to be so grumpy while we made jam :)

By the way, jam is horribly full of sugar and very unhealthy, so...enjoy.
