Those are the kinds of jams I made last week while on "vacation" in the country. I wanted to see whether the kitchen there lends itself to canning--and it DOES! Better than the city kitchen.

Here's the strawberry:

And I'm enjoying the raspberry:

See the bowl on the right? S/O ate this entire amount without even a piece of toast!

I am so coming to visit you one summer.

Just say the word!

In the next couple of weeks, I'll be canning chili sauce and salsas. My garden is overflowing with tomatoes and peppers!

P.S. Bring your guitar!

Yum!

Gaby, I make peach and ginger, too. Do you put fresh ginger or candied ginger? I candy my own ginger with very little sugar and use that, sliced into shreds. I had heard some place that fresh ginger will inhibit a good set for the jam. If you use fresh, is this correct and how do you compensate for it? I make all my jams the old-fashioned way without added pectin.

Mango-cardamom is yummy, too.
