SHF no. 22 - Can you can? Round Up

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), we had little idea about the level of creativity and ingenuity the food blogging community would display. A whiff of concern that we might end up receiving a 1001 strawberry jam recipes was quickly dissolved! Many entries feature ingredients I never thought of adding to a jam recipe, like beer, shallots and sesame. What a shame, hosting SHF doesn’t come with free samples for the host…! Again, thanks everyone for contributing, I’m in complete awe over the beautiful labels some of you created. But see for yourself…

Little pieces of your mind

Oh boy, this is a really rich round up.
Thank you soooo much.

Hello Nicky: Thanks for organising the event! For a first-time jammer, I got to see all the different ways to make jam out of almost anything sweet that we like. Thanks also for introducing other food/jam bloggers I did not meet earlier.
Like you said: a pity that we can taste some of the other jams... a little pot of jam would have been such a nice surprise in the postbox!

August 28th, 2006

I'd be happy to send a free sample, but since we've both (publicly) acknowledged our distrust of our local post offices, I'm thinking you'd miss out on some lovely jam, while a few lucky (or nefarious) postal workers fixed themselves a nice snack...at your expense!
Thanks for the round-up...it's fun and, of course, lovely.

August 28th, 2006

Wow, this all looks so lovely and delicious! Yum!
*** Am now knocking my head against the keyboard, for not entering this roundup. stupid, stupid me! =( ***
But will definitely not pass on the next SHF...=)
Just read about the TIME.com selection, congrats!!!

August 28th, 2006

Wow, this is some round-up! And so many varieties to read and try ... Thank you for hosting, I enjoyed participating.

Wow, great! So neat to see everyone's ideas. I think I know how I am spending my night ... reading up on all of these preserves. Yum!

I was watching a show over the weekend that said you can take any type of bread, any type of cheese and any type of jam, grill it and it would taste good. I'm taking this post as a sign that I need to try a grilled cheese and jam sandwich. Hooray for providence!

August 29th, 2006

wow, you certainly did not lack of entries! This is great I will never have an excuse for not having a recipe for jam, there are so many ides. Thank you for hosting this event so well.

heaps of fabulous entries and so efficiently processed and displayed - job very well done!

August 29th, 2006

Somehow my comment got lost I think, I'd like to thank you for this beautiful round-up and hosting the event. So many recipes to try and sample, so many varieties! I truly enjoyed participating.

August 29th, 2006

Hi Nicky and Oliver,
Thank you for hosting such a lovely, and well-timed, event! I had a great time experimenting with the jalapenos to come up with the final entry. Also, you inspired me to be a little bit more creative than usual with the packaging. Cheers, Elise

August 29th, 2006

Nicky,
Thanks for being such a great host for the event! The variety of entries is quite inspiring, and I'm definitely going to have a go at some of these.

August 29th, 2006

What a beautiful round-up! Thanks for hosting, and for a wonderful SHF theme.I'm looking forward to trying quite a few of these recipes.

Meine Suche nach einem Marmeladenrezept hat mich zu eurer Seite geführt und jetzt weiß ich gar nicht mit welchem Rezept ich beginnen soll, bei der Auswahl! Wunderschöne Seite übrigens :)

So far I've been to lazy to do things like jams and preserves, but this variety looks to good to let it pass by! I found your site via 9 rules, keep up the great work!

Im Garten warten noch zwei Zwetschgen- und ein Pflaumenbaum auf jemanden, der sie von ihrer Last befreit. Dabei würde ich viel lieber was Exotisches mit Feigen oder Melone ausprobieren!

August 31st, 2006

Thank you for the lovely round-up! Everything looks so delicious.

September 1st, 2006

Hallo Susanne, Feigen- bzw. Melonen-Marmelade hört sich SEHR lecker an - das Basisrezept ist natürlich auch hier gültig. Versuch's doch einfach mal!

Hi Elise, Thanks for putting in the additional effort and creating such lovely labels! I'm really intrigued by your jalapenos jelly recipe, will have to give it a go on my next jam session...

Hi Cheryl, Grilled cheese and jam sandwich - if you'd ask Oliver, he'd totally be on your side. While I'm a little more conservative, I love fragolaceto!

September 3rd, 2006

Eigentlich wollte ich an diesem Event teilnehmen und habe es leider nicht geschafft. Nach Wochen habe ich jetzt beschlossen doch mit einem Kommentar zu meineim Rezept zu linken. Weil sie doch was besonderes ist und in diesem Roundup auch wenn nur in den Kommentaren nicht fehlen sollte:)

[...] After reading through last month’s Sugar High Friday posts at Delicious Days, I couldn’t resist making my own jam. This was going to be my first, so I tried to read through almost all possible blog entries and jam making secrets from several websites. I was specifically looking for a peach jam recipe because I knew that the sugar-fruit ratio vary according to type and ripeness of the fruit. I was set to prepare a peach jam/marmalade/preserve (if you are also confused as to which one to call your preserved fruit, check out the Wikipedia entry for definitions - mine is somewhere between jam and preserve) with the addition of a mango that I couldn’t resist when I saw on the shelves and of course a vanilla pod for the delicious smell.

[...] I’m a sucker for hot things. I love to spice my food, and usually it’s hotter than my boyfriend can handle (of course he’s starting to adapt by now). I’ve always been the one to spiceup the food I make even when living at home with mum, but then again I was always the one to try new foods aswell. I can’t even remember how long it took my sister to taste sushi, even though I confessed my love for it, she wouldn’t trust me. Shame! She loves it now. After the last SHF I got a taste for canning. I liked the thought of having homemade jams and jellys, pickles and perservatives. I was told that what I need to use are Mason jars but there are no Mason jars in Sweden and nothing similar, weird to me if that was all you could use. I also checked out some jars from a beekeeper site from Sweden, but AK told me I couldn’t use them as they don’t have the rubber ring for vacuum sealing. I don’t want to point a finger and say something stupid like HaHa, you know like Nelson in the Simpsons, but.. [...]
