I used to make a few batches of Jam every summer-we always liked it with lots of fruits so probably more like Preserves and most definately not jellies. I started out making low sugar or no sugar jams when the no sugar pectins came out-they turned out really nice and I could make them with no sugars at all-they set up pretty good.
In my inbox this morning was a recipe from Southern Cast Iron's newsletter for getting out your enameled cast iron and making up some jam Find recipe here this one is lower than most in sugars and does not use added pectin in their Blackberry Jam
note: all photos are not mine but from the links I shared
Here is a link to their Peach Ginger Jam that looks delicious and is also lower in sugar than most and no pectin needed (In my Grandma's day one would use the same amount of sugar as the fruit-back then those were too sweet for my taste too)
and they shared one more Plum Strawberry Jam also no pectin needed
I've only made a blueberry freezer jam
ReplyDeleteI don’t have the experience of making jams either, but yours sure look and sound (no sugar) great! I like your jars too!
ReplyDeleteI've never made jam or jelly. My tastes go to canning veggies. They certainly look good, though.
ReplyDeleteI thought I published this, but found it on my desk top when I awoke this afternoon. Sorry, dear.
Great post and I love to make jams and jellies too! Old favourites are plum jam and bramble (blackberry) jelly, they are both lovely on toast - yum 😁. Not at the same time though ...lol 😉. Thanks for sharing your recipes and Happy Wednesday! J 😊 x
ReplyDeleteour woods has allot of wild blackberries-that are the best-with all the rain we are getting here the bushes are loaded with flowers.
Deletehappy week Jo
I love making jam. My isn't really thick and jellied so I guess it is more a preserve too. I like to make pickles and relishes too. Something about putting up food feels good. Glad you shared this photos. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteHi Erika, I love to can too-I was brought up with canning at home and still love the process. I smile at my jars when they come out of the canner. and I know what its there too Hugs Kathy
DeleteOh so yummie.... I nearly can smell the fragrances! Hugs, Susi
ReplyDeletegood morning Susi, Jams are awesome aren't they? have a good week Hugs Kathy
DeletePeach ginger sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteThese jams look wonderful, nothing beats home made one's. Have a great evening. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie-I so agree nothing like homemade-hugs
