Raspberry Jam Deliciousness

Sep 29, 2013 01:47

The second jam I wanted to make after the "kinda blue" blueberry-nutmeg jam was a nice, deep red, to reflect the red in my wedding colours. I looked around for other recipes, but I really had my heart set on the gorgeous, jewel-like colours of raspberry jam. Having made it before, I knew how to make it, how easy it would be, and what to expect.

The raspberry jam looks delicious. I buy it often and love to use it in cake fillings like sponge/jelly rolls.. It's great in crepes as well. :)

Yes, I love to use my own preserves in the cake commissions I make, too. I figure they're worth the effort and extra expense, because people aren't paying me for something they could get cheaper in a grocery store.

It's why I make my own vanilla and vanilla sugar, too. It's the extra special touches that rise a baked good from the mundane to the exquisite.

(...aaaaand now I'm probably going to start saying "Ex-squeeze me? Baking powder?" in my head all day...smh...)

I get the Miss Piggy reference but not where the baking powder comes in. Using the preserves you've made yourself in your baking is practical, economical and delicious.

Just taking a break from an afternoon of cooking while doing 2 loads of laundry in the basement. Between walking from the 2nd floor where my computer is located to the kitchen on the first floor and the basement where the washing machine, potatoes, and 2nd freezer are located, I'm getting a workout. :)

I was going to bake (almond biscotti) today but I made a potato cheddar soup from scratch, mashed potatoes to go with the brussel sprout dish I have now made twice and roasted hot Italian sausages. Since I had the oven on, I also did sticky Asian wings (drumsticks and thighs work too) for tomorrow's supper.
