It's Fall, Y'all!

Today is the first day of Fall 2018!  How exciting is that?  Although Spring is my favorite time of the year, I am always ready for the start of Fall.  Farmer's Markets, Fall Markets, Holiday Markets...ready for it all.  And this year I have a new Fall favorite, Carrot Cake Jam!  Yes, you can get your veggies in your jam.  Kids, big and small, won't know that but you will.  It so good over cream cheese on a bagel.  After all, what is the best frosting on top of a carrot cake?  That's right, cream cheese frosting!  It is also good just dipping your cracker in a bowl of whipped cream cheese (have you tried that yet?  That is so good!) and the jam.

Sorry for not having the label on the jar but they went just that fast.  I managed to get the picture before I had the labels ready and then just like that, they all went to new homes as soon as they were labeled.  My kitchen smelled like Thanksgiving while it was cooking.

Stay tuned as I have another soon-to-be Fall favorite coming up.

Until next time, keep on jammin!

Corn Cob Jelly

How do you like your corn?  Popped?  On the cob?  Boiled?  Steamed?  Spicy?  With crawfish?  While all those are good, how about one more - Corn Cob Jelly.  Yes, you read that right.  Corn Cob Jelly.  It's a smooth, sweet as honey jelly that is made with corn cob juice.  Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds.

Start with a dozen ears of corn...

Yum...corn on the cob

Slice the corn off the cob...I now have 11 cups of corn in the freezer.

Boil the cobs, then strain to get the corn cob juice...

Cook the juice with sugar, lemon juice, and fruit pectin and voila...

Corn Cob Jelly...isn't it a pretty color?  And it really does taste as sweet as honey.  Actually I think it's a little sweeter.  No corn after taste was reported from anyone that taste tested it.  Well, there was that one person who said she got a very subtle taste of it at the very end.

Until next time, keep on jammin!

Jelly on my ice cream?

I decided it was time to try something new so I made some soda jellies.  

 Jelly on my ice cream?  If it's Root Beer Jelly, then yes, please!  Just warm up a little of this jelly and top your vanilla ice cream with it.  Tastes like a root beer float! 
  

Strawberry Soda makes for a sweet tasting strawberry jelly.  Instead of using sugar to sweeten plain oatmeal, stir in this jelly to both sweeten and give a great flavor. 

Last but not least for my new flavors this week, Blueberry Jam.  While not a soda jelly, blueberries are good for you.  So go ahead and slather it on your biscuits and toast, warm up for topping on ice cream, frozen yogurt or vanilla yogurt or stir in your oatmeal for a great flavor.  




There are few more new flavors in the works so stay tuned!

Until next time, keep on jammin'!
