MacKenzie Posted August 15, 2017 Report Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) A friend sent me a gift package and in it was a bottle of Orondo Ruby Cherry jam among other goodies. After much thought I decided to start with the cherry jam on freshly made sour dough bread. Just look at this goodness - Plated. Good to the very last bite. Not only does the jam look spectacular but it tastes fantastic. I love the colour, the clarity and the perfect bite sizes of fruit. Needless to say I very much enjoyed breakfast from my corner chair in the ODK. Thanks, Friend. Edited August 15, 2017 by MacKenzie 4

tony b Posted August 16, 2017 Report Posted August 16, 2017 Nicely done, MacKenzie! Only your homemade bread is worthy of that jam! 2
MacKenzie Posted August 16, 2017 Author Report Posted August 16, 2017 Just in case you didn't guess already that jam was made by none other than our very own, ckreef.

I have slowly been tweaking my technique to try and make the very best jam possible. I was really happy with the way the Orondo Ruby Reef Jam turned out and think I can get it even better next year. Only 11 more months until we find out - LOL 10 hours ago, MacKenzie said: Just in case you didn't guess already that jam was made by none other than our very own, ckreef.

dstr8 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Posted August 22, 2017 Damn fine looking jam there @ckreef & @MacKenzie! It has been eons since I last made jelly or jam ... 1
ckreef Posted August 22, 2017 Report Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) TY @dstr8 a few batches every summer just enough tide me over until next summer. I usually make enough to give some to family members. This year I gave some to a couple of friends. Screw the family - LOL Next summer you should make a batch or two.

No worries if I go and visit any family I'll take a jar and give them a taste. I only have 1 of 3 siblings that appreciate it for what it's worth anyway and that's the sibling I'll visit. Last time I sent her a jar of Grilled Peach Reef Jam she made some high end, homemade, crab Rangoons and used it as a dip. She loved it and I though it was a great use.
