Jam and Preserves

When I make jam or preserves, I'm instantly transformed back to my mom's kitchen. I can clearly picture her standing over her stove, stirring her latest concoction. Mom's jam was perfect; not overly sweet, with just the right amount of tartness. But she didn't make big batches to pass on to others like I like to do. Instead, she would use whatever overripe fruit she had on hand to make a jar or two of her delicious jam.

Now, years later, like my mom, I'm known for making jam. This includes favorites like Plum Preserves, Pear-Apple Preserves, and my personal favorite, Strawberry Fig Preserves. The most unique recipe in this category is definitely the Quince Preserves, while the most popular post is the Persimmon Jam. So grab your jars, and let's make some jam!
