One of the Jam's Barb gave me is the Peach Raspberry.
What a delightful combination of flavors. Not too sweet and has a nice
tartness to it.
I can also attest to the fact that toast made with "Melba's Jammin""
jam, lands jam side up, every time.

Well, then the "jam is" something. I wonder which?

What do they look like? Freezer-burned beyond recognition? Put 'em in
a smoothie or something if they are.

If they're still looking ok, they'll be fine for jam. Recipe? Get a
box of Sure?Jell Fruit Pectin (powder) or a box of Certo Liquid Fruit
Pectin and follow the instructions. If they've got lots of ice
crystals, put them in a colander and give them a quick shower to get rid
of the ice crystals; defrost slowly, drain some, measure and proceed.

The instructions are different for each type. Don't use one's method
with the recipe on the other.

That's the short answer. I use frozen blackberries for my blackberry
jam and jelly - I've had blue ribbons for both. Either contact me
privately if you need more info or else check in at rec.food.preserving
where the nice people there will tell you what I just told you here. "-)

(And the picture on the jar label is 11 years old. I look better now
than then.)

No can do, mother superior. I'm getting really tired of linguistic
pornography. People who don't know how to use an apostrophe should be thrown
in a pond full of alligators.

Oh, crumb. I did do that didn't I.
Not the first, nor the last. Get the alligators ready. ;-)

I don't know about jams or jellies but a week ago I made a delightful
pie with frozen boysenberries from my freezer. They were from two
summers ago. I just picked out the ice and followed the recipe in the
Joy of Cooking.

I know, I know. <sigh> I remark about those myself sometimes. It's a
curse. It's just that I know Koko's interest in good language skills
and I figure it was a momentary brain fart. You didn't pounce on
Laura\(wow\)'s misses in her Dinner offering (1:31 p.m. today). Does
that mean you're sweet on Koko? "-) Or are you just a little peevish
today?

(And who are you going to get to stand in a pond full of alligators so
they can throw the apostrophic (I made that up) offenders? Oh, wait ‹
I'll bet you meant they should be thrown inTO a pond full of alligators.
Pfffthhggbbttt!)

Wine? Sweet. And yours?
C'mon, Joe; if you're going to dish it out, you should be able to take
it. <grin>

I'm not dishin' it out any more than my English teacher was dishin' it. I'm
fighting obscenity. 54% of the country believes education is for "elitists",
and they voted accordingly. I'd rather not see that increase.
