The Bunker

Now is the time to get fresh Michigan fruit at Eastern Market, and we've been busy making Christmas gifts on the weekend.

Blueberry jam is easy to make and divine. This is the first time I've tried a jelly, and it certainly wouldn't win any prizes for clarity. I think I did something wrong in the juice preparation phase and activated the pectin. The directions say not to squeeze the bag, but the currants coagulated almost as soon as I hung them up. It will still make a nice glaze for a roast.
