I am going to attempt pepper jelly. I am going to start a thread because I have some special requirements and I am not having good luck finding a recipe I want.
I did my very first batch of preserves! Woot!
Granted, it was only 4 pints - but that was because I ended up having to buy figs since our tree just dumped all of its fruit before it ripened
Anyway... yay me for 4 pints of Strawberry Fig preserves!
Today I tried my first batch of Bar-b-q sauce and it turned out great so I did 7 qts of bar-b-qed beef and 7 pts of sauce. Then 8 jars of peach/pineapple jam mmmmmmmmmmmm tasty.
On craigslist I found a guy who has a 10 acre you pick farm, he has berries, apples, pears. peaches,and necturines(sp).
So I picked up some giant blueberries,we will be going back next saturday for more. Then when they are ripe I will get my pears and apples there too, so excited to find this place and the prices are great.
Now I just got to get more jars lol
congrats AL 4 pts is better than no pts, mmm strawberry fig, now that sounds too good.
