  1. This is one of the best jams I have ever had, and it is so easy to make! My husband loved it too, and he's pretty picky about his jam. I pureed the fruit in the blender and reduced the sugar by 1/4 cup, and it still turned out great and set up wonderfully. I will definitely be making this one again. Thanks!
     
  2. Had some left over strawberries and bananas, and thought I'd give it a try. Tastes great and set well. The banana is just enough to change the taste, but not enough to other power the jam. I did puree my bananas before adding them to the mixture.
     
  3. This was another perfect jam that I gave out for the holidays!! Thanks for posting the recipe!!
     
  4. I made this for holiday gifts to family and friends, everyone loved it and is begging me to make more.
     
  5. The jam didn't set up and was more like a sause than a jam. It was also very tart and my family didn't like it at all - I had to throw the whole batch down the drain because my children wouldn't eat it.
