I have done jam for quite awhile, and a couple years ago started with pickles and fruit. Sadly I haven't had time for any fruit or pickles this year. They are delicious though. Our favorites are peaches and pears. They dont even make it till winter and they are all gone. I tried plums too, didnt really care for them. But I used the syrup in them to make plum sauce, so it wasn't a total waste. Eventually when I have time I want to do spaghetti and pizza sauce, and maybe venture into veggies. I enjoy it, and I love having my own food that I know exactly whats in it.
