Apricot Jam






I made my first attempt at canning last week. Our apricot tree had such a plentiful harvest. Sheral came over and helped me make apricot jam. I looked for directions on the Internet and found a cool web site . It gave me step by step directions to follow with pictures. I had a great time and most of jam turned out perfect. I also made and canned apricot syrup and some apricot pineapple jam- hasn't set up yet. I don't think it is going to. Oh well. I am excited to try to make some orange marmalade and blueberry jam as well.

Oh I LOVE making jam! We made blackberry last year and I need to do it again. I am waiting for my parents fruit trees to get bigger so they can produce enough for all sorts of yummy jams. Enjoy!
