The two day thing is the product of my laziness, not a requirement. It’s good to know though, that if you put it in the fridge and leave it there for a bit, BAD THINGS WILL NOT HAPPEN. And the other thing that’s good to know is that slightly runny jam is not bad. It’s still very nice on top of toast, and in all other ways.

I just read the first part of your reciepe printed it out and went to cooking. I just finished and sat down and started reading again. O.K. is this going to be alright not doing the two day thing?? I did the boil and slightly thicken thing. They are all canned and upside down for 5 min. right side up to cool and all tops popped. Will they thicken more as they sit or should I boil for the 15 min. to make them thicker????? First time with no pectin. Thanks Lori

I begin step two tomorrow…I’m trying a triple berry combo of blueberries from Lake Chelan, raspberries from next door and a bit of blackberries from the Burke-Gilman Trail in Seattle. (I do miss North Berkley, though) This summer I’ve already done some amazing refrigerator pickles (thank you Duris Farm!) and my first batch of fresh tomato sauce! They ALL popped without reprocessing…yay! (BTW 40 lbs. of tomatoes doesn’t make many pints…) And by the way , when I went looking for that beautiful copper pot, you weren’t kidding when you said $49.00 was a steal! I’ll be on the look out at garage sales!

For a while I was experimenting with bread and butter pudding recipes (my husband adores it) using stale croissants which really do make a nice base, and brown sugar and raisins, and lots of different nuts. I reckon you could probably make an interestingly fruity pudding if you put jam on the bread and used toasted almonds or some such nut. I’ll have to give it a try.

I’ll keep the link for use in two years time, when we hopefully get our first crop of raspberries. Right now I could just about do with a jam sandwich, but being at work, I’ll just eat my apple and use my imagination.
