T Tuesday: jam edition

T stands for Tuesday_200
Hey it’s Tuesday already….seems all I’m doing with my blog is T stands for Tuesday.  I’ve got to do something about that! Although I did finally finish and post my 2014 Summer Scavenger Hunt wrap-up…so I haven’t been completely lackadaisical with my blog.

By the way, did anyone notice I changed the background of my blog? I’m thinking that a little more change is due but haven’t given it any brain cells yet.

See now I’m trying to justify things for you and me…silly girl. Anyway…on to the jam!

A while back I mentioned that I’d be making some Yellow Pear Tomato Jam with these babies… I’ve only made jam once before.

I was skeptical at this stage as to whether the jam would ever turn out. It seemed so juicy and not thick. It definitely cooked down though.

Ta-da…the finished product.  It’s a cross between a jam and a sauce in my opinion but that works just fine for pouring over Brie for a yummy appetizer.

This is the recipe I used: spicy yellow tomato jam.  I think I’d back off on the sugar a bit or add more jalapenos and maybe add pectin to thicken it a bit.

Just got back from a 3.5 mile walk with my friend….lost my favorite stocking hat with tassels. I’m going to have to retrace my steps.

What are you doing today?

    Halle, your jam looks great – although I’ve made jam often over the years I’ve never tried making savoury jam. I looked at your previous post too – I am impressed with all the stuff you already have in your holiday inventory – good for you! I hope you sell out of everything.

    Your jam looks yummy. I like the idea of a cross between jam and a sauce. My boys make their own versions of something like this for the BBQ competitions. May have to give this a try, thanks for sharing and for dropping by for a visit this week.

    Golly, this looks scrumptious and I love Brie. I can’t believe how much you have done this summer, making soap, cutting up apples, and now jam. Talk about inspired. You inspire ME.

    BTW, I went to your wrap up photo page, but I would have had to reenter all my info. I got lazy, so decided to tell you that I now feel like I must have cheated, since I took a photo of a bakery in Sam’s. I also found a TON of lamp posts. Seems everywhere I went, I found tons, just like you did. And it seems they were all different and unique.

    My favorite was the tourist shot. It was brilliant. Of course, I liked the gnomes, too. Great way to end the summer, wasn’t it?

    Tomatoes and jam didn’t sound like they would go together. Well that’s what I thought about carrot cake before I tasted any. Your jam looks fantastic! Hope you find your hat!
    Happy T-Day!
