I love it when I make things with my own two hands.And they turn out.
My parents have a mini farmer's market in their backyard and often share their abundant produce with those of us who have black thumbs. Like me.
I took the raspberries, plums, and nectarines and made jam.
It is so pretty to look at. I almost hate to open the jars, but we had peanut butter and plum jam for lunch on Sunday, and that made the work worth it.
I plan on giving away the little jars of raspberry jam away for Christmas gifts, but the rest are just for us.
There was a minor snafu: when I went to get the pectin for the nectarine jam, I mistakenly bought the kind that was sugar-free.
What is jam without sugar? Yucky.
Coming up with plan B....
I think I will use it as syrup for pancakes. Just open, dump in a saucepan, add some sugar, heat, and pour.
How about that for a recipe?
Any other ideas are welcome.
