My friend Linda very kindly dropped by this morning and brought me two jars of her home-made black cherry jam. Last week she walked me through her jam-making routine, and despite her insistence that "it's easy!" it actually seems like a pretty complex process... but I can certainly testify that the results are fantastic! While Chris, Sophie and I all enjoyed toast with jam this afternoon, I can't understand how the first jar is already half-empty. There must have been a defect in the jar that's allowing some of the jam to escape... I should probably report back to Linda and ask her for another jar, shouldn't I?

Sorry - should have mentioned that if you don't leave the jar tightly closed, it does tend to evaporate :)
ReplyDeleteNot to worry - I'm sure I can bring you another jar. And peach and blueberry season are quickly approaching !!!

Sigh... my favourite "jam memory" is of peach jam that my Aunt Kathy made when I was in my teens & early twenties (um, which was just last year, you know). I get the warm-fuzzies whenever I taste peach jam as a result... and would welcome the opportunity to try yours!!!
ReplyDeleteI doubt that Linda's jam had any time to evaporate unless you take the meaning to be disappear from the jar because it was hastily consumed by a family of black cherry jam lovers. If I were there I would join them and it would "evaporate" that much quicker.
