Had an inquiry asking whether I had jam available this year and the answer is YES.

Been meaning to post for weeks, but life, you know?

Here's the 2024 list so far:

8oz
Peach
Peach Rose
Peach Lavender
Peach Ginger
Beach Plum
Blueberry
Blueberry Lavender
Blackberry

4oz -- for cheese boards
Lilac jelly
Violet jelly
Magnolia jelly
Itasca grape jelly

Almost all the fruit comes from my yard -- concord/wild grapes are the exceptions. Although these are not from a catering kitchen, I am very careful when I process fruit. Jars are boiled to sterilize, all utensils I use are boiled to sterilize, boiling fruit goes into hot jars, rims carefully wiped and lids placed, rings tightened, then the jars are placed back into a boiling water bath to finish processing for 20 minutes. I've burned myself in this procedure too many times to count. Jars are shelf-stable until opened; refrigerate after opening.

I haven't yet processed raspberries yet this year (soon), and don't know how much will be available as I'm also canning for favors for a wedding next summer. There's also some Asian pears still to pick and some beach plums and grapes still in the freezer.
