I've made cooked jams only a couple of times but have made no-cook
recipes many times. I made them because, for a while, I was into
biscuits and hot-milk sponge cake. Boy, that was tasty stuff.

It's a good thing to be relaxing and leisurely eating breakfast of
coffee, biscuits, and jam that you made yourself. I was doing just that
one sunny morning with my wife and sister-in-law. My SIL was talking
about her co-worker at United Airlines that had some mystery illness and
nobody could figure out what was causing him to waste away and then we
heard on the radio about a nuclear power plant that had a meltdown in
Pennsylvania. Terrible things might have been happening but I remember
those times with great fondness.
