This is the story of Jam.
This blog is going to contain stories and information related to making jams,preserves,gardening, and music.
My intentions are to form a small team of Jam experts with a small enthusiastic group of anyone interested in making jam and task master them to fun and State Fair Victory.
Yes, we'll also be listening to good music and looking good.
What is the Jam Club?
It's a group that's currently forming to make jams and jellies. Also, I'll be posting the trials and errors of gardening fruits and making jams.
Join while it's still free.
Why a Jam Club?
We recently moved in a new house with a small orchard that includes several cherry trees,apricot trees,arctic kiwi vines,strawberry vines, raspberry vines, a larger mayberry tree, and neighbors with a walnut tree and several types of apple trees and most of it gets eaten by the squirrels and birds. So I decided to form jam club to harvest and jam the various fruits and nuts. There'll still be plenty for the wild life and everyone in jam club should be able to get a bunch of jams and jellies for gifts and consumption.
Is Jam Club for me?
1) Do you have a sweet tooth?
2)Do you like giving personal homemade gifts?
3) Will you be able to spare a few hours during harvest time and for canning day?
4) Have you ever won a ribbone at the Minnesota State Fair for making jam?
If you answered yes to 3 out of the 4 then it sounds like jam club is for you.
If you answered yes to any, but you think it's for you anyway; it's still probably for you.
If you answered yes to #4 then you're what's known as "Our Ringer."
Is there a fee? Where are the hidden costs?
Jam Club is free to join, but I keep telling people "Sign up while it's free", because it's funny the way I say it.
What will you do with your share of the booty?
I'll eat some, give some as gifts, and the rest will go to charity through sales or donation.
