Otherwise, keep in the fridge for a few 3-4 months...I think. I made mine and kept it around for much too long.

Looks so yummy I was licking my lips.<BR/><BR/>We had a strawberry patch growing up on the farm, and I would love to just go pick them and eat them on a warm day. Plus the little church down the road would have a Strawberry Festival every August - strawberry jams, ice cream, and the most heavenly strawberry pies. Wow, I miss that!Stefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024186205791001584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12761051.post-1140198214268553182006-02-17T12:43:00.000-05:002006-02-17T12:43:00.000-05:00When the temperature outside warms up, we should s...When the temperature outside warms up, we should see about getting a group of people to trek out to Homestead Farm and pick fruit. <BR/><BR/>Everyone can then use their stash to make a jam and then maybe meet up later for a taste test and share notes, recipes, etc...<BR/><BR/>Attached is the link for the picking schedule: http://www.homestead-farm.net/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12761051.post-1140117960094248202006-02-16T14:26:00.000-05:002006-02-16T14:26:00.000-05:00I use the freezer jam for my blackberry jam.

Ina Garten (the Barefoot Contessa) just made a batch the other day on a breakfast show- she served it with homemade mini-brioches.<BR/><BR/>Reminds me of a "jam" that my grandmother used to make for me. One time she made a mistake with her usual recipe (simmered too long perhaps?) and made more of a runny strawberry sauce than a jam. She was going to toss it, but I loved it! For years after, every time she made her jam I'd get a special jar of "oops" jam. It was great on ice cream!Brunettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238711397979375068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12761051.post-1140105112224015122006-02-16T10:51:00.000-05:002006-02-16T10:51:00.000-05:00This reminds me of my parents' "freezer jam" - whi...This reminds me of my parents' "freezer jam" - which is the simple recipe you find on the Sure-Jell box. They would just make a bunch when berries were in season (strawberry or raspberry) and then freeze them in margarine tubs. I rarely recall having jam from a jar. So lucky!Dancer in DChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087622962074214295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12761051.post-1140102920541674642006-02-16T10:15:00.000-05:002006-02-16T10:15:00.000-05:00Homemade jam is a thing of beauty.

If you add lemon juice and peel, the pectin in the lemon juice will help it set up. Hmm...scoop of warm jam?
