More Jams from Janice
by Matt on August 18, 2009 in Condiments, Recipes, Reviews
Keepin’ the content fresh, HCP’s Publicity Director Howie put up a new blog post today, this time from Janice, with photos and a writeup of her preserving experience this weeekend. Janice made Peach Jam, Raspberry Jam, Small-Batch Strawberry Jam, and Small-Batch Blackberry Jam, all also from Linda Ziedrich’s Joy of Jams. I can’t wait to try these out on Wednesday!
