Making Jam

Making Jam

I felt like such the homemaker, it was so GREAT.

First we made a recipe from the farm and I decided it had way to much sugar.

So then I started researching online and found one on cookinglight.com and another on marthastewart.com.

But.

What we came up with was using a "sugar in the raw", which added more flavor.

 Before the mess.  See the white box that is the fresh apple pie.

 The first batch is below:)

The second batch turned out more consistent and solid, you can tell I'm learning from right to left...but this is all the first batch...

The second third, and fourth rounds turned out super yummy.

It was simmered for a hr and then you add a couple teas of lemon juice.

 So we all decided we are bringing daddy and picking apples here in the fall (along with picking at Grandma and Grandpa's and Avilia)...so here we come apple season.

btw: was I the only one who tried the new "envy" apples at the grocery store, YUMMY!

FALL HERE WE COME!!!
