Jennifer here to share with you about a brand new Ball product that will literally make your jam and jelly making easier! We were provided product for review and one to give away. No other compensation was received.
I started making my own homemade jams and jellies a couple of years ago. I found out how easy it was to do, and because I am trying to provide better foods for my family, I knew this was something I really wanted to perfect. Here is my most recent recipe I made.
Click here to view this recipe.
Now, normally when I make jam, I do it right on the stovetop in my big sauce pot, but I recently was introduced to the Ball® FreshTECH Automatic Jam & Jelly Maker. Since getting this appliance, my jam making sessions have been cut in half!
It usually takes about an hour to make jam on the stovetop, but with the automatic jam and jelly maker, I can create all different kinds of jellies and jams in under 30 minutes. I love this little contraption!
I am going to be experimenting with pepper jellies next week. I love this kind of jelly poured over a block of cream cheese with some reduced fat wheat crackers. It is my all time favorite snack.
