WeBeJammin' 101
In about half an hour I'm off for a jam-making consultation! As a
result of the story in the MN Women's Press, I had a phone call from a woman who wants to pick my brain. I've been working on a PowerPoint presentation for a week and a half and I'm rather proud of it. I'm bringing an offering for dear auld St. Pec, too. Now, I gotta find my pearls! Dang! Stay tuned. Camera's on my list, too. -- -Barb, www.jamlady.eboard.com Updated 10-09-04; Sam I Am!. "Peace will come when the power of love overcomes the love of power." -Jimi Hendrix, and Lt.

Camera's on my list, too. Well, shoot me! My camera was with me and I never used it. We were too busy. My students and I made some "Regal Raspberry Jam" from frozen wild raspberries. It was delicious. It was a fun experience. Student C has a PhD in *Food Science*; her friend, Student M, is an artist. C appreciates and understands and appreciates the science of it; M wants to know how to tinker with the basics. :-) They've made jam before but not with the best success, apparently -- floating fruit. Both wanted to see how I made jam and wanted to get some tips for success. My handouts were pretty good, if I do say so, and they said they were helpful. The handouts covered the four necessary components of good jam; explanations of the different categories of preserves; a few trustworthy resources, a page of tips. Thirteen PowerPoint slide pages. Rob (my in-house PP weenie) was very proud of me. They had good questions, too. I'd been to Fleet Farm the day before and picked up some canning tools and a BBB for each of them. They were appreciative of that and I'm glad I did it. It helped me decide what's really necessary equipment -- a canning funnel and a jar lifter/jar tongs. I brought along my waterbath vessel and we used it. C's "official" canner was too big for the task -- the small half pint jars didn't fit properly on its divided rack. Before we began, I set up a little altar to St. Pectina of Jella and laid an offering of Halloween candies at her feet. And I couldn't find my pearl necklace, so I "made do" with my 36" string of Czechoslovakian cut crystals. C, her husband, and M were very impressed. I don't think I let us down, guys. :-) I think you'd have been proud. (And I'm really sorry I forgot to take pictures!) -- -Barb, www.jamlady.eboard.com Updated 10-09-04; Sam I Am!.
