Got an early start this morning on making kumquat marmalade, an annual event at our house. Yesterday we sliced, de-seeded, and simmered 10 cups of kumquats with 3 quarts of water. That sat overnight and then had the proper amount of sugar added this morning. Once the sugar was dissolved we began boiling the mixture down, about a two-hour chore. We...

Traditional recipes for jam call for what I consider to be excessively high amounts of sugar from a taste perspective. I know the purposes of this high amount of sugar was required to : 1) produce a good set, and 2) to act as a preservative to prevent mold growth once the jar was opened. Now that I'm using potassium sorbate as a preservative I don't need...

Miz Anne, Tilly Dawg and myself are celebrating Christmas at home this year. Our descendants have finally grown up so much they're celebrating with in laws now and we don't feel like driving this year. We're having a smoked ham, one I'm smoking myself, fresh broccoli from the garden, green beans I put up in the spring, fresh made bread, most likely...

My preserves baskets have been handed out at 2 occasions already, with one more to go on the 25th. So far the feed back has been favourable. Apparently my dad likes...

does anyone know why the SPAM (e.g., Persecution)on nearly every rec.food.* and alt.food.* has been allowed by Google? This used to be a nicer place.

We harvested enough broccoli this morning to put up six quart vacuum bags in the freezer. There are at least three or four more quarts worth still making heads on the plants and then we will be harvesting the side shoots. Good eats for later in the year. Luckily we, our kids, and grandkids love broccoli. Cabbages aren't heading up yet but I'm thinking...

Some time ago thre was a thread about used plastic food containers. I used to (1970's) get them from someone who worked at a doughnut shoppe where the jelly filling came in 5 gal plastic tubs. I found that after a while the plastic deteriorated and became brittle. I would only recommend using those for dry foods. Lately I discovered that paint now comes...

I'm doing several test recipes for jam using black currants and different amounts of pectin. I'm wondering if anyone knows how long it takes after processing for the full set to develop? Sincerely, BlackHawk
