Jammin'

the stone fruit has been disappointing so far this season. Well what we have has been.

The nectarines were languishing in the bottom of the fridge. I left one out to ripen and it didn't so rather than waste them I turned the into jam.



it is good enough to eat!

the one with the label is for my Dad.

Apricot Jam

Purists should look away now!!

I made these little jars of jam yesterday using the Microwave. It was so quick and easy. It took a maximum of half an hour and no mess.

All you need is:

500 g apricots

¼ cup lemon juice

Microwave for about 6 minutes in a large container with the lid on.

Add 2 cups sugar, stir. Microwave for about 16 minutes with the lid off.

That's it!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to thank a lady named Helen who provided the recipe on an online quilting group I belong to. She says it also works with nectarines.
