Making Jam

All the summer fruits are ripening and we are making jam!
It all started when our sister, Diana, said ... if people knew how easy it is to make jam and how much better it is and is for you, they'd never buy jam again! She's a chef in the school system who had a big idea for summer ... make jam!
Wow - talk about incredibly delicious gourmet jam you'd never find anywhere else ...
Pear Vanilla Bean jam
Mango jam
Apple Pie jam (yes it tastes exactly like you are eating apple pie)
