Hi,

I'm back again with yet another question. I went raspberry picking today
and plan on making jam with them soon.

My question is can I put orange zest into the raspberry jam without causing
any trouble? Will I upset some sort of balance by just putting it in?
Should I put it in after the jam has cooked and just before I put the jam
into the jars or should I cook the zest along with the raspberries which
sounds more like the proper thing to do.

I guess that is more then just one question isn't it?

I certainly would appreciate your views on the subject and I hate always
taking information without giving back any advice but feel I'm still very
much a novice even after three years or so.

If I can help any of you with a ceramic or cleaning problem just let me
know.

Thank all you fine people.

Joyce

Nope.

I cook it with the jam.

Nah, it was just one long one -- I could hear you catching a breath
between phrases. :-)

My floor needs scrubbing, and the windows need to be washed. I think I
need a couple sticks of TNT instead of Mr. Clean.

That's an easy one Barb. Sell a few extra jars of your delicious jams and
hire someone to do it!
