PEP Food - Sand - Waterbath

We went thru a lot of sweet relish this summer, lots of burgers.
I can't wait to try this recipe. I added 1/2 a jalapeno for a little kick.
Sweet, sour, and a little bit spicy.

Note: Hey Mark, nice sauce! Next time, take care to see details in the instructions, such as "ingredients and equipment" or try to determine how you will show you made the "proper head height." I've had bbs rejected before when I didn't follow every detail.

Edit: Post under construction... I'm currently working on re-sending the images from my phone.
Edit 2: New pics inserted. Hope these work!

I bought some beautiful strawberries from a roadside produce stand, so I thought I'd make some jam! I used the strawberry jam recipe from the sure-jell website, but I halved it because I only had enough cash on hand to get one quart of berries. I also added a dash of lemon juice to balance out the sweetness. (I halved the package of pectin by weight.) I ended up with two pint jars of jam, plus a dash extra.


tools and ingredients


about half inch headspace, and pulling a can out of the canner


done!

I've fallen in love with floral jellies on toast. The recipe says violets but the process is the same. I prefer Queen Annes Lace to violets in flavor and ease of harvest- I don't need to bend over for Queen Annes Lace 🙃
