Oh my, that looks yummy!
Thanks for this very fun recipe - I lovespecial things like this!
Thank you for posting this recipe! I was looking to get this recipe for I had heard about it from another source, and wanted to make some of this jam for family members for Christmas! It really does sound good!
Thanks for sharing this recipe Brenda! We recently went on a field trip to a pumpkin patch and they were selling Strawberry/Cranberry jam and it was delicious! So, now I am going to try to make some! ;o)
This is literally an answer to prayer. I went to sleep last night praying that I could find a canning recipe that I could do now (despite being past the "fresh" season), so that I could get all my husband's gifts to his staff finished before Thanksgiving. Somehow, I have it in my head that if that task is out of the way, I can handle the rest of my list for December. Thank you!
Do you think this would work with a powdered pectin instead of liquid?
I really don't know but I bet if you google the question, you may get an overall answer.
