We are picking peaches early that morning and I just found a couple of recipes involving spices and peaches--wow, it's like you read my mind! :)<br /><br />Lisa: First, I must say a big THANK YOU for the award (my very first!) and also I think I will experiment a bit more with the jams. :) My mom has been canning most of her life, so I continually learn so many great things from her and I'll pass them on here. :)<br /><br />The Cookie Blog: I haven't used agave myself, but I've been doing some research on this ingredient. From what I've found so far, it can be substituted for sugar in jam--but regular freezer or refrigerated jam and you add pectin to it, to help it thicken. I'm waiting to hear back from a couple sources about if it can be used in place of sugar in hot processed methods of canning and if anything else needs to be added. Thanks for asking such a great question and I will keep researching and let you know what I find out and I'm learning more too! :)<br /><br />Anna: Thanks! And I'm happy to know you'll be making jam too. :)<br /><br />Kate: Happy blackberry picking! I'm going to be doing some myself tomorrow. :)<br /><br />Casey: I will be checking out your website--what a fantastic idea! Yes, I've had my fair share of photo rejections from both sites and I will submit them to yours. :)Jill @ Jillicious Discoverieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02048655342233149007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580403633674593743.post-57397375289730035642009-08-14T05:11:08.229-07:002009-08-14T05:11:08.229-07:00There is a certain satisfaction that comes from ca...There is a certain satisfaction that comes from canning and preserving. Do you think it might be anthropological in nature? Connecting us with our forebears, helping to stave off the ravages of the coming season, keeping us in touch with the earth throughout the year. Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but the tradition and art of canning perserveres even in the face of growing convenience on our grocery store shelves. I think that it is a true celebration of food, to do what you have described in this post!<br /><br />Anyway, I found you through TasteSpotting and am writing to say that if you have any photos that aren’t accepted there, I’d love to publish them. Visit my new site (below), it’s a lot of fun! I hope you will consider it.<br /><br />Best, <br />Casey<br />Editor<br />www.tastestopping.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580403633674593743.post-10342490152445046252009-08-14T03:40:36.794-07:002009-08-14T03:40:36.794-07:00I've just finished making peach and apricot ja...I've just finished making peach and apricot jams.

You should really experiment with that to add to your already thriving mastery! They look beautiful and tasty, and I admire anyone who has the patience to turn out jams, jellies, preserves etc. I've made some ginger preserves, and after the 6th jar, I needed a break..lol<br /><br />Having said all that..I have a gift for yooouu!
