Definitely not recent, but I figured I could help get some content going. So here is my jam shelf from the Covid times. Jam making is a hobby of mine in the summer and I went a little wild with flavors that year since there wasn’t anything else to do and I could send them to people.
Top shelf from left to right: Lemon Curd, Port Plum, Apricot, Strawberry Zinfandel, Peach Bourbon, Verry Berry, Peach, (small jar) apple butter from the year before, (large jar) Chili sauce, raspberry.
On the bottom shelf are various garnishes for cocktails that I didn’t really can so much, but I thought I would list for those curious. (If you like cocktails, join us over on !cocktails@midwest.social). From left to right of what I can see: Smoked Salt, Cinnamon Sticks, Whole Nutmeg, Dried Lime Wheels, Candied Ginger, Tea Pot.
Not pictured: That years apple butter batch! I always make a massive batch of apple butter when my parents apples ripen. It often makes about 20 jars!
Lol I thought this was a post about music for a second.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful! The Strawberry Zinfandel sounds delicious. Reminds me of the Blueberry St. Germaine jam I made. Fruit and alcohol make the best jams for some reason.
