The Start of Things

Got all my stuff... now it's time to make some jam! As you'll notice, I won't use any preservatives, flavouring or colouring. Another thing is... I won't reveal my recipes as I haven't copyrighted any of it yet... hehehe.

Here are the main ingredients in my first batch of jams. Lot's of lemons, limes & tomatoes. Baught them today at the Pudu market. It's been ages since I've gone to a wet market. Had a pretty exciting time surveying the stalls for future items I may need.


Other important ingredients are the beautiful Basil and Mint leaves. Love their smell. Must think of other jam/spread recipes that use them.



Lastly, the eggs that came straight from this old couple's farm. Had a pretty interesting conversation with them. But I'll leave that for another day.


And here are the jars before I sterilized them. I only use jars with pop-up safety seals. I'll show you another time how I process them to make sure there are no aliens that may grow in your jams.
