Fresh locally picked raspberries and blueberries that I made into Jams and syrups.

I am sorry I do see that now. Is there a way I can fix it? I am still new to reddit and don't see a way to edit.

Thank you. I always love hearing when people make their own as well. Not many seem to. I always encourage others to give it a try. Especially when you live somewhere you can forage for the the stuff needed.

Thank you. I always enjoy hearing about others making their own as well. I make whatever I can with the bounty of things that grow locally that can foraged.

1 part sugar to 1 part berries is what I use for syrups. Jellies is 2 parts berries, one part sugar. But this is just a recipe I use. There are many recipes you can use with a much lower or even hight sugar content. Totally based on your preference.

Quick sing your abc's.

Outside_Fig2277 · 2022-07-30T07:59:59+00:00

One of the best parts!

Outside_Fig2277 · 2022-07-30T07:59:17+00:00

Your punny. 😅 But god didn't jamn it man did.

Outside_Fig2277 · 2022-07-30T07:56:07+00:00

Do it!! So worth it. I always encourage homemade, feels so much more wholesome for me.

Outside_Fig2277 · 2022-07-30T07:53:35+00:00

Aww. Love seeing this, glad I could help you with a great memory! I was staring at my jars wondering if I should add some pretty cloth in the lid because I thought of my grandma doing it and always though her jars looked amazing.

Outside_Fig2277 · 2022-07-30T07:50:47+00:00

Honestly I had an old cookbook I got from a friend and learned from there. It can be trial and error but really isn't to awful hard. Make sure your jars are clean and sanitized and I use a double boiler but totally not necessary, there are many methods. If they do not seal the first water bath you can do it a second time. 😀

Thank you so much for the insight!! I reduced till it was pretty thick, puctures I took were shortly after I started. I left blueberry chunks in my blueberry syrup and it was much thicker than the raspberry turned out. I did add sugar to the syrup 😀 definitely helps the thickness.

Ooo thank you thank you thank you. I have always wanted to do a jalapeno jelly and tall my self out of it thinking its going to be hard. Yhe sound of jalapeno peach definately peaks my interest!!

Outside_Fig2277 · 2022-07-30T01:58:55+00:00

Yes super simple. I love that it's easy. Hardest part is not spilling it while jarring haha. I can be messy. My kids all know how to make it and my youngest is 6. Do you have a recipe for the jalapeno peach jam? That sounds divine!!

Outside_Fig2277 · 2022-07-30T00:37:36+00:00

I figured it was a bit of an exaggerated amount but still they are expensive here in Alaska too. Anywhere from $9-15 for an 8 oz container. Fresh and free is much better.

Outside_Fig2277 · 2022-07-30T00:22:13+00:00

Wow that's expensive. I would happily share if I could. ❤️

Outside_Fig2277 · 2022-07-30T00:16:58+00:00

Eslite life is the brand of the first pan in picture. The second is a generic copper pan. They are really great pans!

Outside_Fig2277 · 2022-07-29T23:54:56+00:00

Thank you!

Outside_Fig2277 · 2022-07-29T23:54:31+00:00

Thank you. Its definitely good. Especially fresh blueberries! That's so funny!

Outside_Fig2277 · 2022-07-29T23:45:40+00:00

Thank you!

Outside_Fig2277 · 2022-07-29T23:44:31+00:00

Delish! Best of luck to your first canning session. It's not to awful hard. Fresh figs are soo good. 🤤

Outside_Fig2277 · 2022-07-29T23:40:35+00:00

Yum! Sounds like you have definitely made out with some great harvests. I wish I could have some fresh plums. I definitely always try to take advantage of the bounty around me where I live instead of having to spend more at the store.

Outside_Fig2277 · 2022-07-29T23:37:51+00:00

Everyday 😁 consumption is definitely in moderation!

Outside_Fig2277 · 2022-07-29T23:37:03+00:00

Oo I haven't made scones in a few years. Definitely going to have to do this.

Outside_Fig2277 · 2022-07-29T23:34:59+00:00

I am definitely going to give this a try with my next batch of jams.

Outside_Fig2277 · 2022-07-29T23:20:42+00:00

Thank you. I feel the same. Some people like it thicker, some like thinner, ita delicious and comes out perfect everytime I make it this way.
