Jam And Preserve Recipes

Jam And Preserve Recipes

I first started my love affair (my family might say obsession) with canning and preserving in 2008 when my editor at Planet Green asked me to do a post on it. I was a bit reluctant, because I was concerned about poisoning people via the internet if I didn't get it right. After a bit of reading, I realized that home canning is about as safe and easy as making dinner.
I didn't can much this summer because I was in France, so I missed the berry season, meaning no strawberry jam in February, but now that September is here, I'm in full swing. Last year, if a fruit or vegetable stopped in front of me long enough, I preserved it. I ended up with about 400 jars of jams, pickles, relishes, chutneys and mustards. My only disaster was the 32 jars of green olives which, one year later, are still so bitter as to be inedible. In fact, my job this weekend is to finally empty all those jars so I can preserve my tomatoes.
