This morning my son and I went to a U-Pick place. We got several pounds of sweet cherries and LOTS of blueberries. <\/p>\n

I came home and made jam.<\/p>\n

\"lots<\/a><\/p>\n

First up, closest to the window, is cherry-orange-spice jam, cooked with 2 cinnamon sticks, some whole allspice and whole cloves in a tea ball. I’m guessing that it won’t set well, but will hopefully taste good. I got 1 pint, 5 half-pints, and 4 half-cup jars. (1 already sent home with son.)<\/p>\n

Then I made a batch of blueberry-ginger. I followed a recipe for the amount of freshly-grated ginger (1.5 teaspoons), and I’m pretty sure you can’t taste it at all. I got 3 half-pints and 8 half-cup jars of that.<\/p>\n

Next another batch of blueberry, this time with double the ginger (1 tablespoon) plus 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon thyme. That got me 2 pints (1 already sent home with son) and 9 half-cup jars. <\/p>\n

Plus, I sent home probably 6 cups of blueberries with my son, and I have another 2 cups here to just eat.<\/p>\n

I’m confident that the blueberry will all set, but even in that second batch, all I taste is blueberries, but maybe more discerning palettes can taste more.<\/p>\n

Still, they’ll be good, and some will make nice gifts. <\/p>\n

Left the house at 10AM to go pick, and by 4:30PM all the jam was made and the kitchen was cleaned up, except for cooling, labeling, and putting away the fruits of my labor (yuck, yuck).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
