I had
oodles of raspberries from my parent’s garden frozen in our garage
freezer. I wasn’t about to let them go
to waste so I decided to make a big batch of jam and some pancake syrup. Not only was I able to use up the raspberries
but some sugar I had in the pantry as well.
I went
to the grocery store and picked up two boxes of pectin (I had a coupon for a$1
off two boxes) and a box of lids. I used
the recipe from the pectin box. Super
easy and it always turns out well. After
making up the two batches of jam I canned eleven half pint jars in a water
bath. I then made the syrup and sealed
it up in a Snapple bottle.
After
sharing some of the jam with friends and family the rest will be boxed up and
heading out on the road with us. A
delicious reminder of our old home to have in our new home!

Absolutely love homemade jams. Last year I was able to buy strawberries for 99c for 2 lbs and made freezer jam. My husband had never had it before and is now an avid fan! lol
ReplyDeleteThere is no better flavor than from homemade jams. Great job converting your husband. :)
