We have been on our small acreage for just 3 1/2 years and I have 2 whole shelves in the walk in pantry filled with jam and bottled fruit and vegetables. I just love the look of it, though if I am truefull we really don't need anymore. But the orchard is full of fruit trees in flower at the moment and I have expanded the vegetable garden....why? Because I love doing it more than housework!!! And it does always make good presents.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02922312026478673063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-38689362676409150262013-09-22T16:37:58.972-05:002013-09-22T16:37:58.972-05:00Your jars of jams and jellies all lined up are so ...Your jars of jams and jellies all lined up are so pretty! :)<br />I made pear jam for the first time this year too and it is really, really awesome!!Candy C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07863818451136277378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-24107342797853972212013-09-21T11:35:39.515-05:002013-09-21T11:35:39.515-05:00I'd love to have a recipe for cinnamon pear ja...I'd love to have a recipe for cinnamon pear jam. hint hinthoosier girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11042021292102476233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-5738205346246617982013-09-21T09:50:30.145-05:002013-09-21T09:50:30.145-05:00I love it!

The most I ever made in one year (and this figure is burned into my brain) was 104 jars. Pints and half-pints. True, we were poor as church mice and ate a lot of PB and Js. (Ha! That was when peanut butter was economical. Not any more!) Plus hubby took a PB and J sandwich in his lunch everyday. There were the three of us and we had a 19 year old gal living with us. And a jar of jam (or 4) was a good gift 'cause it didn't involve an outlay of $$. Like you, I LOVE making jam although I've had to cut down drastically since it's just the two of us now (still give some for gifts) and our maturing (ahem) bodies don't allow so much sugar intake anymore. Hubby uses jam for sweetener in his kefir smoothies all the time though.<br /><br />So you go, Girl! Jars of a variety of jams lined up on pantry shelves are a beautiful thing.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-9937734919155052122013-09-20T16:58:13.757-05:002013-09-20T16:58:13.757-05:00Carolyn,

Then we have our weekends, we pack or make PB & J's. We've saved all kinds of money just eating PB&J's when ever possible. I try to keep canning jam on top of everything else. If I could, I would hoard the jam in the pantry.

Not so much the old jams themselves but being able to produce lots of surplus will mean a way to live as this painfully slow collapse continues.<br /><br />Even if you slow down your actual production you are still way ahead of the game.<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-81892456339983875952013-09-20T15:08:20.846-05:002013-09-20T15:08:20.846-05:00I use it to mix with plain yogurt, tastes better t...I use it to mix with plain yogurt, tastes better than anything in the storeSunnybrook Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135224259672444423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-52105473745516661482013-09-20T15:05:20.603-05:002013-09-20T15:05:20.603-05:00I, too, used to be a jam hoarder.
