Jam

I made this jar of jam the other day, using loganberries from our back garden. It's tangy and delicious, but it's spoilt me for supermarket jam, which is gelatinous and tastes like sugar. There are so many reasons to grow our own food.

  1. You are so right. Some jam is all jelly and no jam. Your loganberry jam looks scrumptious!!!

  4. That jam looks amazing lulu!
    I get my fix of home-made jam from a shelf in our little local post office! A local lady supplies bits and pieces, and my favourite is her 3 fruit marmalade, which has big luscious pieces in it! Sublime!
    I agree, supermarket jam is no jam at all really!

  5. Yum, yum, yum! Nothing is as good as homemade jam!
    The only jam-worthy fruit we have growing are apricots and the tree is absolutely loaded with green fruit. Can't wait. Even though boiling it means summer days over a hot stove, lol!
