We never have extra. Its hard work harvesting wild blueberries, cranberries and currents.
Never have enough to last, unless we ration carefully.
So jam is a rarity

No, I've never heard of it. But I love just keeping the cream off the top of the milk to put in my coffee.....it's just heaven.. So what do you do with the clotted cream and how do you make it?Bubblingbrooks said:Ever made clotted cream?kimnkell said:I have raw milk and it's great of course...lol... but what I really love with homemade jam is the homemade butter and a big loaf of homemade bread.....Yummmmmmmmmmm....ashylove1 said:lol... now if only i could find some raw milk....

If you watch Edwardian farm (youtube), and follow their exact methods for farmers clotted cream, you will have success.kimnkell said:No, I've never heard of it.

Next time I do it, I am going to add an extra quart of cream to the milk, and then be able to have enough to go around.
What to do with it?
Eat it with jam and bread!

I usually give my jams and jellies at Christmas too but I didn't give much away this past year because of the past experiences with my family.... They don't seem to appreciate receiving a homemade gift such as canned goods...I don't understand why but... I don't feel that I should give to those who don't appreciate the work that I put into it. However, there are some of my friends that truly appreciate it and would love to have it all the time.....Wifezilla said:That's one way to get rid of that extra jam...and extra money...and excess sanity...

No such thing as extra jams here. We give some to family at Christmas.
But mostly we sell it at farmers markets. And I mean a BUNCH of it. It's nothing for me to make 5 or 6 batches of a single flavor jam in one day....followed by more in other flavors later in the week. Every fruit that comes in season, I start off by filling 3 to 5 dozen jars, then add more. When we include jam in our CSA boxes.....waalaaa! 60 jars or more fly out the door in one week.
Send your "spares" LOL....we'll help dispose of them
