Peach Jam

If you're just joining in, I blogged about making freezer jam on Wednesday here. I showed you how I love to eat the strawberry jam on Thursday here  and the cherry jam on Friday here.  Today, I enjoyed the peach jam!  And there's no better way to eat peach jam than on angel food cake!!

Just in case you're wondering, they're all fabulous on toast, too!!

Cherry Jam

I'm still jammin', well, eating jam that is!!  Here's the best way to eat cherry jam...pour it over Yarnell's Cherry Yogurt!!   Sad to say, but Yarnell's which was based in my home state of Arkansas has in the last month gone out of business.  I love their yogurts!  I did stock up on some of their yogurts when I heard the news!!  But, before long I'll have to start sampling some of the other brands.

I didn't see the reflection of the jam in the spoon until I uploaded the image.  That was a nice surprise! 

CHERRY JAM ON CHERRY YOGURT ~ DELICIOUS!!!

Strawberry Jam

 This is my favorite way to eat homemade strawberry jam...on pancakes for breakfast!!

Yummy says it all!!

A Fruity Kind Of Day

As many of know I love Big Picture Classes!!  I'm taking Picture Summer right now and today's prompt was "juicy fruit".  After exploring the kitchen I only had a very tired looking orange!  So, I went to the store to buy fresh fruit.

I came home with strawberries

peaches

cherries and the makings for freezer jam!

 It's so easy to make freezer jam!!  The instructions are on the insert inside a box of Sure-Jell.  It's a little messy, but you do get to nibble while you work!! 

You just cut up the fruit

mash it



add the sugar.

And  yes, it takes quite a bit of sugar!!  That's why we like jam...it's sweet!

heat up the Sure-Jell and stir it into the fruit. That's it!!

This is the first year I've tried cherry jam. It really looks so good, such a dark rich color!

Don't they look delicious all ready to eat! I enjoyed today! I love to piddle around the kitchen and make things other than meals, It just seems lately I haven't taken the time! Other things just get in the way! But, today I combined two things I enjoy photography and cooking!!
