Are you Jammin’?

As if a great shortbread cookie wasn’t good enough. Add some homemade jam and the taste is HEAVENLY!

I just came back from visiting my son and his beautiful wife, whom I lovingly refer to as my bonus girl. They just moved into an adorable little home they built and being a few states away I was only able to see the progress on pictures.

Now, I was going to spend time with them for a few days and one of the things Roxanne requested was that I show her how to make jam. A girl after my own heart!

What a perfect way to spend time together, cutting, stirring, and measuring. Then the final bonus came with the tasting! I had never made Rhubarb jam before my visit and I will tell you what, it won’t be the last time. It was so amazingly good.

We also walked to the local farmers market and bought a dozen maple and bacon doughnuts and a lug of farm fresh peaches. YUM!

So not only did we make rhubarb jam we also cut up most of the peaches and made several batches of peach jam as well. The colors of both jams were picture perfect!

When homemade jam is this gorgeous you just want to stare at it and savor every small morsel.

Quick Tip: If you don’t have homemade jam, go ahead and buy some at the store. It might be fun to try two different kids and see which one you like best!
