Jammin'

 Over the weekend Resident Chef and I made tomato jam (which we like better than strawberry and most other jams).  See?....


Recipe is courtesy of Boud (thank you!)

- I thought THIS was really interesting and a great use for sheep wool.

- I know THIS is from 2010 but stunning quilts are stunning no matter WHAT the year!

- THESE are awwwww-worthy!

- THIS would be a nice project for fall.

- THIS would be a nice quilt to make using your scraps.

Today's quote is from Nelson Mandela..."Fools multiply when wise men are silent"

    I'm glad you like the jam. I find people enjoy it and can't identify what's in it. They're surprised that it's tomatoes and lemons.

      Yes, people are always surprised when they are told what's in it. Such a simple recipe and yet so tasty!

      Most people haven't had it or at least so it seems. We far prefer it over most other jams.

    Never had tomato jam - sounds interesting. Looks like you'll be able to enjoy it for a while. Nice that you worked on that together.

      We don't eat a lot of jam so yes we'll be eating it for awhile!

    I make a tomato jam, but it is more a savory type than something I would eat on toast.

    God bless.

      Most people think of the savory version when they hear tomato jam, but this one is sweet.

    I just got one of those memory pix things from Google showing that today three years ago I made a batch of that jam! The jars in the sunshine look so good.

      You gave me the recipe then and we've been making it ever since. Good memories!

    I would love the opportunity to taste tomato jam. I'm not a big jam person, but you have made me very curious what this must taste like. It's a pretty color in the jars. :)

      Thank you, but I don't think I'd make it. I want someone else to make it. And just give me a taste. lol Though... that would make a great blog post! :)

    Don't believe I've ever had Tomato jam. I must see if some of the Amish/Mennonites around here sell it.

      There are two things called 'tomato jam' - one is savoury and the other is sweet. This one is sweet.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
