We Be Jammin’
Boy am I having fun with the rhubarb! Besides the ice cream and the painting of the rhubarb, I just had to make sugarlaws jam recipe. Oh. My! It came out perfect! I was worried about using just the 1 tsp. of pectin, but it worked. I processed it in jelly jars for 15 minutes in a boiling water bath. Again, we are so easily entertained around here that we were calling out “there’s another!” when we heard the *pop* of the lids as they sealed.
I like these little jelly jars. This way I feel like I actually made some jam. Instead of all that work and ending up with only 1 or two of the larger jars.

I just found your blog through Anna’s Pleasantview Schoolhouse. I wish I’d found it earlier. It is simply lovely!! I love your sketches also. Thank you for having me over.

Oh gee I know just what you mean. I love to hear that sound. I have to run in and see which one it is. I have always stayed away from rhubarb. My mom never liked it and I never even gave it a try. Maybe I will.
Hey Debi! I have so much fun seeing your comments on this blog
Actually rhubarb is really yummy, but needs a LOT of sweetener as it is quite tart.
