First batch of jam this season. Strawberry, (shamefully) bought from the Farmer's Market (just haven't had time to go and pick the berries on my own this month). Regular recipe re: sugar content, as I didn't have any of the low/no-sugar pectin available last night. Have to remedy that tonight after I come back from my first cat-sitting visit. Still have enough quarts of strawberries for another two batches, again doing those tonight.

Judging from the fuzz, which I had over the breakfast oatmeal, it's pretty good. It's stunningly sweet, but the fruit flavor is good, as I'd been worried about that. The FM berries weren't as uniformly ripe as I normally go for, but given that I bought them late in the season, I'm not complaining in the least.

This year I am planning to try evil things with blueberries and lemons, in addition to my usual peaches and ginger. And raspberries and nectarines and apples and this year pumpkins (never got around to that last year)!

So, any of you still have any of my jam jars empty and just taking up space...?
