Trader Joe's. Seedless. The squarish jar with the white label. I like it,
but must confess that whenever I take the jar out of the fridge, I think of
you and wonder how much better your blackberry jam is!

A few years ago I made blackberry something (jam? preserves? can't remember
which, it was my first time). They were quite yummy (if I do say so
myself!). I found a jar of that stuff recently, but didn't know whether it
would still be any good. I had used the "shortcut" method on the pectin box
of standing the jars upside down in boiling water, rather then the "real"
way, and I think the box said that you shouldn't keep the shortcut kind
around as long as the other kind. So I chucked it. It was fun, though.
