I've had so many compliments on this jam! Even my 20yr old who's new to all things jelly/jam etc...swears this is da bomb! Also, have been told by a friend's younger son that it was better than his grandmother's...shhhhhhhhhhhhh! It is delish for sure! This last batch I made with the last of the south AL peaches...I grated a little fresh nutmeg into it. YUMMMMMMM
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Well, I love to cook! Big surprise there. I've gotten so many great recipes from RecipeZaar that I finally decided to join. My goal is to organize all of my stray recipes to make sure they don't get lost, and also to remember which ones we love! I like a lot of variety, so I rarely cook the same thing week after week. The trouble is, as time goes by, it becomes difficult to remember all of the dishes that everyone loved and/or menus that were a hit when we had company. I'm hoping RecipeZaar will help on that front.
I work part-time and have 2 young children, so mostly what I focus on these days is preparing simple, fresh, healthy meals that all of us will enjoy. Our kids are not coddled - they are expected to eat what they are served. However, I do try to have at least one item on the menu that I KNOW they'll like. They are very good eaters overall, but of course they have slightly different tastes, and my son is a "separator," which makes soups and casseroles a challenge sometimes. Luckily, my husband will eat anything (and I mean ANYTHING) that is put in front of him. :-)
