Holmade Jams and Jellies

 

Once we were seated yesterday morning, our Lady Bugs organization was treated to a "Jam Tasting Party"!  We sampled over 20 varieties (out of 100).  The entire 2 1/2 hours was extremely well organized! It was informative and entertaining. Doris Holm - thus the "Holmade" - makes all her own jams and jellies and hosts these parties from mid-April into December.  I HIGHLY recommend the experience.
After the tasting AND lunch (delicious), we were ushered into the area where the jams and jellies were displayed.  I purchased a variety "sleeve" of some of the pepper jams and a couple jars of the "fire hot" variety.  These are delicious with cream cheese on crackers.
Another "who knew?" for me--and SO close to home!

Stick WITH me here.
I have a more "serious" post coming tomorrow.
(I've just been on the run and have had so many unique experiences lately.
I needed to "document" them SOMEhow.)

  2. Holmade Jalapeno Jam sounds good to me! I'm hooked on E.D. Smith's Spread, especially raspberry and cherry, which isn't too sweet and available at Costco. Blackberry Jam is my most favorite of all or any jam though!

  3. Sounds fun! I used to make jam a lot but haven't in recent years and this motivates me to try it again.

    Looking forward to your upcoming posts....

    sampling! I enjoy a good jam or jelly
    on toast or waffles.

  8. Rebecca,
    It was a delight to have you over at my place.

    Yes, obedience and faith go hand in hand.

    I love jams and crackers. Loved this post...

    I too like the idea of documenting your journey. WIsh I could do that more consistently with my own blog - sometimes things happen all at the same time...

    You can do it so well on your blog place.

    Blessings...

  11. When I was reading your post, I was wondering, does she know to spoon jelly/jam onto cream cheese and eat it with crackers? That is the snack of all snacks.
    I have a great respect for those that know how to *jar* & *jam*.

    Blessings, Debbie
