First time homemade

I got the chance a few weeks ago to make my very own homemade jam!

it turned out rather well considering it was my first time, all i needed was Sure Jell pectin, fruit and Sugar

Does anyone else enjoy making their own homemade jam?

I never have but I've been wanting to try.

I also want to try to make homemade cranberry sauce for the holidays. It seems easy.....

You should, its a lot simpler then i thought it would be

Plus they have tips on the SureJell site which tells you the right berries to pick

and recipes too

yes I love making my own jams and jellies. Just have to be super careful about not burning yourself. My favorites to make are peach jam, strawberry, and wild plum jelly. I made orange marmalade one year, but it's a pain in the arse.

It's amazing how much time washing the pans takes afterwards too.

I myself made a Triple Berry jam that i got from inside of the Sure Jell box.

Even gave some of the jars to my mom as a gift, she really liked them.
