Thank you all so much for participating and your wonderful entries. When we initially came up with our theme "jams and sweet preserves" for this month's edition of Sugar High Friday (inaugurated by Jennifer, the Domestic Goddess)...

It was pretty clear form the get-go that last weekend would be all about making jams and preserves. Hosting this month’s edition of Sugar High Friday I ought to better come up with a decent contribution myself, shouldn’t I...
