Special Breakfast

[MacKenzie]

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.

Nicely done, MacKenzie! Only your homemade bread is worthy of that jam!

[MacKenzie]

Just in case you didn't guess already that jam was made by none other than our very own, ckreef.

TY MacKenzie that is about the best compliment a jam maker can get. 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

I guess if they didn't figure that one out they just haven't been paying attention lately - LOL

 I have that movie in my TV cabinet. That and the Iron Giant are two of my favorite kids movies.

Damn fine looking jam there @ckreef & @MacKenzie!

It has been eons since I last made jelly or jam ... 

[ckreef]

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.

@ CK,   

I'm still laughing about the family missing out.

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.
