J is for Jam and Jelly

This summer I need to restock my pantry with jelly and jam.  I tried to make some last summer but it didn't set right.  It was weird because I spoke to many people who had the same problem.  I'm hoping this year turns out better.  I have no Strawberry Lemon Marmalade left.  This will be my third year making this recipe, my family was not happy that it did not set correctly last summer.  Strawberry syrup is good, but not as good as jam!  We're down to our last 4 jars of peach and apple jelly.  So I will be making them as well.  I'm hoping to get a good crop of raspberries this year.  I'd like to try and make some raspberry jam.  We shall see.

It should be interesting trying to get all this done with a toddler running around!

  1. I remember the days of toddlers and jam-making. Long gone now, but I miss them still. The busiest years of your life are the hardest. At least young women possess the energy to cope. Blessings to you and yours.

  2. If a lot of people in your area are having trouble setting jelly it's probably because of the acidity in the soil. You may need to adjust the recipe.

    Good luck with the challenge!

  3. We seem to use very little jam and jelly, but I have been making juices more now. I'm trying to visit all the A-Z Challenge blogs this month. My alphabet is at myqualityday.blogspot.com
