Default Do People Still Make Their Own Jams/Jellies?


I don't think I've ever read any posts in here in regards to making jam
or jelly, so I just wondered if anybody in here does that?

If you do make your own, what kind do you make? What are your favorite
flavors? Have any special recipes to share?

Before my mother died of cancer 5 years ago, she and I would make it
together, but I haven't made it since. Commercial brands just don't have
near the same quality of flavor as homemade. Nothing beats a person's
own raspberry, or strawberry jam. I haven't made a jelly roll since then
either, as not the same with commercial jam, I don't think.

Hubby use to make salmon berry jelly every year, until he was diagnosed
with type 2 Diabetes (it uses 7 cups of sugar per batch). We would often
give it out at Christmas, and everyone seemed tickled to get it. Neither
of us eat much of any kind of jam or jelly anymore, but I do buy it to
bake with, and occasionally will have a open-faced peanut butter
sandwich with some type of jam/jelly on top the p. butter. I use it in
a restaurant, if we are eating breakfast out, and most often I opt for
orange marmalade.
