Finally I got off my ass and made a batch of the Lavender Jelly. Took me long enough, huh?
I need a new pot for making jams and jellies. The one that I have is heavy enough but not big enough. As the whole thing was starting to rapid boil, it started to rise and then went over the bend. I did not get burned and I did not lose alot of the product. I transferred it to a bigger pot that is not as heavy but it did the job. But that cannot be used because I cannot afford to scorch the fruit.

So, there we go. They are all popped. I will give them a while to set up before I crack open a jar to taste. I did taste a bit of the overspill, and it was pretty good. Let me know if you are interested. My jams will be sold at a local Farmer`s Market soon.
Oh, it looks lovely! I'm going to buy some English Muffins to eat this on. Yes, yes, yes! Make more and I'll buy more. I adore homemade jams and jellies!!!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm....this would be heavenly on some sourdough toast. I want.
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of popping lids on preserves.
ReplyDeleteGot any black currants around there? Black current jam would be a warp back to childhood.
Oooh yes. Black currant would be amazing.
ReplyDeleteBlack currants are expensive. We shall have to see. Maybe a small assed batch
