Jam or Jelly

Jam Recipes, Marmalade Recipes, Fruit Butter Recipes.

 

Jam or jelly, marmalade, and fruit butter and spreads. This is where you learn how to can the sweet stuff.   

Sweet spreads made with fruit are acid foods and can be safely water bath canned. 

This little scoop is a handy canning tool that I use when I am making jam.  It is handy for pouring liquids into your jars.  Even better, the flat edges let you to get the last little bit out of the very bottom of the pot.    Tired of a canning mess?  Try the Soup Savers Scoop.

Most jam or jelly recipes make a small batch and you may be tempted to double your recipe. However it is difficult to make double batches.    

If you want to make more at a time have two batches going at the same time in separate pots.  This way you keep the ingredients to 1 batch each pot but can make more at a time.  

Both batches may be processed together just not cooked together.
