I haven’t made jam in a long time, but I can’t stand food waste and I had blueberries that were slightly past their prime. I didn’t have enough berries to make a full batch, so I eyeballed the fruit, sugar, and pectin, and hoped for the best. I got two small jars out of this attempt, and they appear to have set up well. It felt good to be jamming again.

It’s been a long time since I’ve made jam. Due to my Full-Time job as a Preschool Teacher, and a Mom, haven’t found much time to jam. I was recently gifted some beautiful apricots and since it’s one of my favorites, I decided to make up a couple of batches of apricot jam. I have let my “cottage foods license” go, so I’m not selling this per se, but if you have something from your garden or something you’ve made, I’m open to barter!

We’ve all had “Kitchen Mishaps”, and I have probably had more than the average “Home Chef”, so you’d think I’d be use to it when something goes awry in my Kitchen. This one however hurts. Making jam takes some serious time, and after spending five hours in my Kitchen cleaning and making jam yesterday, I was heartbroken to find that my pectin failed on 16 jars of my Christmas Spice Jam. What this means is that the jam did not “set up” or jell. It also means that now I have 16 jars of “Christmas Spice Syrup”. I loathe wasting product and time, so as an effort to turn this mishap around, I have decided to sell this syrup. It is made with the exact same ingredients as the jam, taste exactly the same, but has a thinner consistency and texture. It will make a wonderful addition to cocktails, cheesecake, ice cream, waffles, you name it. $5 a jar, unlabeled, and for personal use please. Please comment below if you are interested in purchasing some of this syrup, and helping me “right a wrong”. As always, thank you for your support.

*Note, I went back in the kitchen for two more hours of jamming last night, and another two this morning to produce actual jam to fill current orders. If you have a preorder of Christmas Spice Jam, your items will be ready for pick up this afternoon.

Hello Friends! As some of you know I am back in the Classroom after taking this School Year off to support my own Children through Remote Learning. I had high hopes (and still do) that Summer would be my “productive time” for “it’s Mel’s jam”, but I’m late in getting started and can’t really see much time on the horizon for making jam! Thank you for bearing with me, and for your continued support! You all will be the first to know when I have a new batch of jam to share! 💗
