This looks amazing. I told my husband about it and now all his coworkers want a jar. Thank you for all that you do for us. I have only canned 3 things and this will have to my next one.
Jeni,
OMG this recipe is fantastic!!! I have a hunting lodge and bed & breakfast in New Mexico and I am alway looking for new ideas to surprise my guests. Homemade ice cream with this jam on top will be a huge hit on a hot summer night. Fresh biscuits or toast – I bake all my bread – this is sure to be a favorite. Thank you so much. I am a huge fan and love to watch your videos.
