Jen’s Honey Strawberry Freezer Jam

Posted by Hallee on May 19, 2011 in Hallee's Galley, Preserving, Recipes, sauces & spreads

I’ve known Jen since we were pregnant with our almost 5-year-olds. She is the crock-pot recipe queen to me, and a very dear friend. I often wished we lived closer than the few hundred miles that separate us, because seeing her a few times a year just isn’t enough.

Here is her first recipe for our blog – but I hope it won’t be her last. I intend to talk her into a regular crockpot column here at Hallee the Homemaker!

Honey Sweetened Grape Jelly with Homemade Apple Pectin

Posted by Hallee on Aug 23, 2010 in Gardening, Hallee's Galley, kitchen & cooking tips, Preserving, Recipes, sauces & spreads

Pectin is found in under ripe food and is a substance that will jell fruit juice when combined with sweeteners. I’m not all that crazy about growing my own fruit, being careful about the source of the food I buy, carefully preparing to preserve such fruit — then having to preserve it with a box of some Sure-Jel that came off of the Wal-Mart shelf. So, I researched into how to make my own pectin.
