Jamming with Max & Anna

We made two recipes from Preserving with Pomona's Pectin: Ā Apple-Maple Jam and Honeyed Strawberry-Rhubarb Jam. Max and Anna helped with squeezing the lemon juice and stirring the fruit in the pan,

but most importantly taste testing and eating the final product. Yes, they liked it and happiness reigned.

Jam Recipes You CanĀ Make Now!

Sunrise Marmalade -- excerpted from Preserving with Pomona's Pectin by Allison Carroll Duffy. This jam is a kid favorite because it tastes just like Carrot Cake. As Allison says,Ā "I'm a huge fan of carrot cake, and if it's possible to have a marmalade version of that delectable dessert, this is it.Ā It's lightly spiced and lusciously sweet, and spread generously on dark bread with a bit of butter, this delicious marmalade is a perfect way to greet the morning."

Orange Jam --Ā Feel free to use any type of oranges or a mixture of orangesĀ -- valencia, navel, cara cara, blood oranges, mandarins, tangerines, satsumas, mineolas.

Apple Pie Jam --Ā Apple Pie in a jar! Ā Use this recipe for plain Apple Jam also.

Kumquat Marmalade -- Another recipe from Allison Carroll Duffy, who says:Ā "If you are not normally a fan of marmaladeĀ but are craving a bit of citrus,Ā this is the marmalade to try!"

Terry's Chocolate Marmalade -- created by Sarah Reid, in case you missed the February Jam Notes. This recipe isn't approved for water bath processing, so make a small batch and eat it, freeze it, or give it away. Your friends and family will love you for it.

Black Tea Jelly -- also in February Jam Notes, from Allison Carroll Duffy: a much requested recipe finally here.
