I did a thing yesterday!
We had harvested nearly sixty pounds of pawpaws. Y’all bought about forty pounds before I decided it was time for processing!
There’s about eight pounds that still needed some ripening time. That means it took twelve pounds of ripe pawpaws to make this batch of jam!
The house kinda smelled like bananas for a couple of hours. Jim (the hubs) declares it “pretty good” and said it really kept the pawpaw flavor. Get your own jars from the online store! They’d make a great gift for the localvore or pawpaw lover in your life!

This jam took nearly all day to make; cleaning pawpaws is a tedious job. I don’t know that I’ll make a second batch this season. If you have your heart set on pawpaw jam, now is the time to order.
