Raspberry Peach Jam

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:52:16 GMT

Meet the Cook: While my jam won a first-place pink ribbon at our local county fair, that may not be the highest compliment it's received. Two girlfriends I share with tell me if they don't hide the jam from their husbands and children, they'll devour an entire jarful at just a sitting! Here on our acreage, my husband and I grow fruit. We're parents of a 7-year-old, 5-year-old and 6-month-old. -Patricia Larsen, Leslieville, Alberta

Christmas Jam

I have a passion for cooking, and it's probably my grandmother I can thank for it. She was a marvelous cook who could really stretch a food dollar. All the same, I've had my share of trial and error over the years. Shortly after we were married, my husband and I were invited to a family picnic. I made the prettiest potato salad you'd ever hope to seen. There was only one problem with that dish I was so proud of—I hadn't cooked the potatoes!

My husband and I first tasted this deliciously different gravy at my aunt’s house one Thanksgiving. Now I make it throughout the year.

Cranberry Raisin Relish

Pomegranate Cranberry Relish

Spiced Pear Jam

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 19:04:45 GMT

Years ago, my in-laws had three pear trees on their acreage and gave us all the fruit that we wanted to pick. So I canned plenty of pears. Then a neighbor passed along this favorite recipe. I've given many jars of this jam as gifts. Day to day, my husband and our boys—we have a married son and two teenagers—enjoy it on toast with ham and eggs or on hot rolls with a meat.
