After tasting Miz Schaller's nectarine jam I just had to make some.
I bought 6 almost-softball-sized nectarines yesterday and some SureJel (No more of that Ball stuff for me!) I peeled and chopped them today, disappointed that altho they were gorgeous outside, they were brownish under the skin. Called SureJel (Kraft) to make sure I had the proportions right, subbing nectarines for peaches. They were pretty dry so I put half through the food processor and left the other half chunky. Followed the instructions closely and I think I have a success! I opened a jar of the grape I had problems with earlier in the week and it looks as though it is jelling from the center outward. I'll give it a few weeks before declaring it a total disaster. When cauliflower was on sale last week I made three jars of pickled cauliflower using the USDA bread-and-butter pickle brine. They turned out well. I think that's the extent of my preserving for the year unless I find some decent oranges and decide to make orange marmalade this winter. gloria p |

I'm proud you're getting along with the preserving though. George |

He likes peaches and not nectarines, and says it has nothing to do with the fuzz/skin. Go figure.

If you peeled both and cut them into chunks, I think most people would detect a difference. Anny |

Four and a half month old rat > terrier, her name is Tilly Dawg Shirley and she is a little jewel. I'm so glad you've welcomed another loving puppy into your family. You deserve each other, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. Serene -- Spin the auto-sig generator, and she says: In sober truth, nearly all the things which men are hanged or imprisoned for doing to one another are nature’s everyday performances. Killing, the most criminal act recognized by human laws, nature does once to every being that lives, and in a large proportion of cases after protracted tortures such as only the greatest monsters whom we read of ever purposely inflicted on their living fellow creatures. [John Stuart Mill, Utility of Religion] |

Lies beside me in the easy chair, flat of her back with all four legs sticking straight up and snoozes. Watches TV, never saw a dog pay attention to the TV before. I think she hears the noise and sees the moving parts of the picture and wonders what it is. She eats her cup of puppy food a day but takes each bite out, lays it on the floor and then eats it. Weird little dog, fits right into this family. George |
