Taking his sentry post in the flyers box.
And all the bottles of Blueberry-Peach Jam went poppity poppity pop. A good spoonful slathered on buttered toast for breakfast :)

Bernardin website calls for equal volumes of fruit and sugar. How much can the sugar be reduced before failure? Half?

@quoidian Sugar is used as a preservative and reduces the likelihood of bacteria taking hold and creating spoilage. You *can* reduce sugar BUT you risk early spoilage (both opened and unopened jars).
I do my jams by weight (not volume) and to taste (and pectin-free). The lowest I’ve done is 80% sugar for small batches that will be used up in a year.

Freezer jam or fruit leather. Ok.

Full moiety of sugar, then.
I'm always looking for holiday presents for friends who have passed 'peak thing' - it shall be the first project in the new kitchen. Thanks.

Mark Connolly moved to @@cardamomaddict Nice! I just biked out there and brought back blueberries, peaches, peppers, and a few more things 😀
@uxmark I looked at a map and saw the Edna event was only 10 minutes from Herrles, so I thought why not get fruit at the same time :)
Lydia Schoch@cardamomaddict Yum! You might like #Locavore, too, if you’re not already aware of it.
