Jam Session, Part 2

Rainy Day's SOC, Nancy, was kind enough to type up another matrix of the jams we made this year, so if any of you are interested, it is at the bottom of this post.

As you may remember from last year's post, Rainy Day and theFifth Annual Jam Session, we started a recipe of Peaches and Lemon Basil (from Tigress in a Jam), which we now call Racoon's Delight. It's one of those preserves where the stuff has to macerate overnight, and as the 'fridge was full, we set it in the garage. Alas, the raccoons came in through the kitty door, ate all the peaches, had a delightful time, and left me with the mess. We tried it again, this year. This year, we put the stuff needing maceration in the Frog Room, also cool, and had the pleasure of processing everything for human consumption;-)

Remember, jam goes on your toast, not your ballot, though if enough ballots with jam were submitted, it might turn our politics a wee be sweeter, eh?
