If it grew and was a fruit, he made jam from it while I measured sugar and boiled jamjars. <br />So glad you finally bought Sock Innovation! You'll have to join the Ravelry KAL for it now. Nothing like a bit of knitting deadline pressure to bring out the best in us! ;)Sinéadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03638944452534302340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4981008103933564118.post-89695269990194306622009-07-13T02:52:57.781-04:002009-07-13T02:52:57.781-04:00Hmm, I wonder if I could grow enough strawberries ...Hmm, I wonder if I could grow enough strawberries to make some jam?

Okay I'm mixing my movies but you know what I mean...LOL<br /> Guess what!!? Audrey is a jammer too! She is knowledgeable in the ways of the jams and we discussed them Friday night on the way to Effiloche. So, next time, according to Audrey, we should save our foamy skimmings for on bread etc when we are finished jamming. Jam Fluff!<br /> Next fruit up: Raspberries!!!!

I have to say that my dill pickles are to die for! If I neglect to put them out for a family dinner, the grandkids let me know, very quickly. There's something so virtuous about making your own preserves ... perhaps it's the sacrifice of slaving over a steaming stove in 29C weather!Sereknittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18360765413464455650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4981008103933564118.post-4230425112844121342009-07-11T13:53:37.234-04:002009-07-11T13:53:37.234-04:00Making jam looks like fun!Making jam looks like fun!Amelahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11701229732393186410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4981008103933564118.post-23483651964739076722009-07-11T10:43:41.375-04:002009-07-11T10:43:41.375-04:00Mmmm homemade strawberry jam is the best hands dow...Mmmm homemade strawberry jam is the best hands down! I am jealous! Norm refuses to eat jam, for some odd reason he doesn't like it! I know weird right! So he makes all kinds of grumbly noises when I mention I want to get or even try to make some. We're a no jam household.

A number of small things have been beyond my control.<br />Today, however, one thing was completely within my control, and it was the jam.<br />I was going to RESPECT the jam. As the sole recipient of a jar of the Tara/Alison jammy adventures - I was determined to do it justice.<br />I picked up a loaf of very fresh, moderately robust, fairly crusty whole wheat bread. I waited until all was silent and calm in my home. I toasted two lovely slices, spread them gently with real butter (respecting the jam fully requires real butter) and liberally painted them with the beautiful jam. <br />Thank you, for a rather perfect moment at the end of my day :)<br />(I know, that was a lot of attention to jam. Yes, I do have a life outside of jam sampling - but you've got to know I LOVE to eat, and this week has been rather a long one ;) )kate-the-enablerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07910934584884359023noreply@blogger.com
