My thoughts:

My married adult man loves peaches. I'm to a greater extent than of a nectarine daughter myself because I am i of the unlucky few that run itchy when I grip peaches. Luckily, he is happy to tegument (and cube!) them for me hence I tin taste them equally much equally he does. So when the lovely people at the Washington State Fruit Commission together with the masterminds behind peaches inwards vanilla edible bean syrup, spicy nectarine barbecue sauce, zesty plum ketchup together with ginger-cardamom nectarine jam I made alongside fruit they sent me terminal September) I jumped at the chance! It came inwards a huge box,and all of the fruit looks perfect including to a greater extent than or less of the biggest peaches I've seen together with to a greater extent than or less fragrant apricots. Of course of didactics it arrived the same twenty-four hr menstruum I came abode alongside five lbs of plums hence I'm a chip overwhelmed alongside fruit at the moment. The urge to brand jam was potent because at that topographic point is cypher similar a chip of summertime inwards the dead of wintertime to cheer y'all up. I went for a sweet-hot jam using heirloom fish peppers from the garden that volition travel lovely inwards whatsoever fashion of savory (and sugariness uses).


I know the jam machine is somewhat controversial amidst canners, to a greater extent than or less tell that it isn't truthful jam making unless y'all are standing over a hot stove to brand it. I run it. I'm individual who corned my ain beef (and smoked it to brand pastrami), made my ain mustard together with seeded sourdough rye bread for a unmarried sandwich. I'm all for authentic cooking. But, I honestly don't run across what the occupation is here. I purpose an electrical mixer besides together with y'all don't run across whatsoever upwards inwards arms close that. The jam comes out only equally expert equally it does inwards the pan (sometimes ameliorate because at that topographic point is no fright of scorching or burning) together with terminal night, I made this jam inwards 35 minutes (including sealing the jars!) at 10 pm. I can't produce that on the stove. Of course, y'all tin brand this on the stovetop if y'all prefer.
