Jam roundup!

I just want to give you all a huge thank you for taking part in this! I think it was a great success! We had 27 people from all over join in! I know for a fact new friendships were made through this, which is over the top exciting!



OK here is what people sent... at least what people wrote me back about what they sent (or what I was able to find on their blog- i'm sneaky like that)! (click on the images to see them larger) (Images were either sent to me or taken from your blog post or the post of the person who received the jam)

Darice who lives in CA sent Jen of Maple and Cornbread strawberry-kiwi jam, strawberry tarragon jam and lemon basil jelly

Jen of Maple and Cornbread (who picked all the berries she used in these!) sent me strawberry rhubarb (the first jam she ever learned to make as a girl), blueberry cinnamon, and spiced peach (picked from her father-in-laws tree!). How great is that!

I mailed Doug of Javaholic some strawberry jam, some cherry jam and some pumpkin butter!

Doug sent Jen of Beantown Baker Lemongrass-kaffir lime leaf-pepper jelly and a jar of Rosemary Peach Jam

Jen sent Sunshine of Eating on Tulsa Time some Rhubarb Raspberry Jam, and some Peach Bourbon!

Sunshine sent Diana of A little bit of Spain in Iowa Pineapple-Rhubarb Jam and Quadruple Berry!

Diane made her own pectin... no joke!! She sent to April of Abby Sweets some strawberry honey jam along with a jar of homemade pectin!

April (who was my first jam exchange partner ever last year!! woohoo!!) sent Cranberry, pear-vanilla, apple-cinnamon and sweet potato butter to Jeanne of The wrong Century (Jeanne does awesome crafts btw!).

Jeanne sent Tricia of Tricia Chaves some Strawberry Rhubarb, Strawberry, and Black and Blue jam!

Tricia sent Leslie Strawberry and Kiwi jam!

Leslie sent Krystal of The Special K Treatment some Strawberry Balsamic and a jar of Coco Banana! Very creative.

Krystal sent Beth a jar of Sirachi Jam.

Beth sent Becky some Raspberry Jam, and some Amazing apricot jam. How do I know it was amazing you ask? Because I made them both with her! This was Beth's first time making jam and she did great!

Becky sent black raspberry and some pineapple banana with a hint of strawberry to Steve.

Steve (who makes like 18 kinds of jam, mostly from fruit picked from his back yard!! so cool!!) sent my lovely roomie Steph some “Donner Family Farms” Cardamom-Plum and Dark Berry & White Fig Jams!

Steph (my roomie) sent Natalie of Natalie's Killer Cuisine a jar of Strawberry Rhubarb, Triple Berry and Apple Butter.

Natalie sent two jars of Tomato Jam! You got that right!!! To Lori of Lori's Lip Smacking Goodness.

Lori (who lives in Rochester but I've never met... yet!) sent green tomato jam andMargarita Strawberry Jam to Rebecca of Playful Noshings.

Rebecca sent Mike of Food Muse some delicious looking fig jam!.

Mike sent Christine of Sandwich Hoss some Quadraberry Jam and a jar of no-pectin Apricot Preserves.

Christine sent Megan of Megan's Cookin some strawberry plum jam, Peach jam with orange and ginger, and Blueberry-peach Jam (her posts are freakin hilarious btw!)

Megan sent Leslie of Spilling Buckets (another Rochestarian I have yet to meet!) some Lemony Peach Jam with Basil, Raspberry Chocolate topping, and a container of grill seasoning. Doesnt' that just sound interesting and tasty!?? Sure looks pretty.

Leslie sent Sieda strawberry lemon, blue berry, multi berry, and peach cinnamon!

Sieda sent to Jayme of Delectable Deliciousness some raspberry jam! yum!

Jayme sent sent Darice some (on the left) peach, raspberry, vanilla bean jam and (on the right) raspberry, strawberry, vanilla bean!

OK only two left! I paired them with each other since Jen of Piccante Dolce lives in Canada. Her partner was Shann. This way they were both shipping international and getting something international (only fair that way). I haven't heard from either of them so I don't know what they sent!

If anyone didn't receive their jam please let me know!!

That was seriously fun! Thank you again everyone and hope you join again next year!

PS Leslie of Spilling buckets was so inspired by this exchange, she's hosting a canning exchange! You can read about it in her post here, you have until Sept 4th to sign up!
