Yesterday I made jam for the first time! This was something I had wanted to try for some time, and I was surprised by how simple the process was. However, the jam is still cooling/setting so I am not sure how successful I was, especially considering that I did not completely follow the directions but wanted to get creative.
My first batch was raspberry peach. I bought the no sugar needed pectin, which recommends using fruit juice or Splenda instead of the massive amounts of sugar normally needed. I decided to use raspberry wine and a tiny bit of honey and cinnamon. This sounded delicious but even after boiling longer than the recipe called for it never seemed to thicken, so I am going to let it sit a little bit longer before I open the first jar. Today I will be making strawberry kiwi and have already decided to use less liquid than yesterday, but I am still going to use the wine.
