I tried a new recipe again. This one is a blueberry jam with a little kick of spice to it. Pretty good stuff. I found this recipe on the blog food in jars . One thing I love about making jams, is that it is one of the easist stuff to can. Plus they are just down right yummy. The recipes called for the blueberries to be smashed and than measured out to 6 cups.  They are just so pretty, I had to take a picture before I squished them. Then you put them in a non-reactive pot with 6 cups of sugars. Bring to a boil. Then add the zest and juice of one lemon, 2 tsp. cinnamon and 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg. Bring back to a boil and boil for 15 min. Then add 2 pouches of liquid pectin  and boil for full 5 minutes. Remove from heat and pour jam in prepared jars. Add lids and rims. Process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes. While this is all going on in the kitchen, my cat Pete is working hard in the livingroom. Just too much for him. Remove jars from canner and place on a towel. My Aunt J

I have been wanting to make a new jam flavor for a couple of weeks now. The last one I had done was Tomato Jam. It was the first time for that one also. I thought it had turned out tasty. But this jam here is very tasty. A spicy apple jam with little pieces of apple. It is suggested to warm up and put on pancakes or use as a glaze for pork. If you like to make jams too, you need to try this apple pie jam . I will keep posting new jams I find and try. Today I think I'll share these jams with the ladies that meet at the 30's Club I attend at Sager Creek Quilt Shop. We have fun and this will fit right in with resourcefulness that the 30's portrait.
