Slashfood 8 (Ate): We're jammin'

jamIt seems like every other post on my favorite food blogs these days involves some sort of jam -- fruit, spice, anything! Here's a round-up of some particularly fetching jam finds on the blog circuit:

Tomato Jam from Habeas Brulee, who serves it with hearty dishes.

Oatmeal Cookie Rasberry Jam Bars
from Cookie Madness. Jam is in the cookie, so it counts.

Strawberry Freezer Jam from Apronista, a newly discovered blog that it just gorgeous.

Strawberry Bay Leaf Jam
from Mac and Cheese. Phenomenal strawberry photos.

Rhubarb Jam from Sugarlaws. Catch this while rhubarb's in season.

Spicy Fig Orange Microwave Jam from Simply Recipes. A post from last year, but how could I exclude?

Blackberry Jam Cake
from Salt and Chocolate. Jam AND cake.

Mixed Berry Jam
from Epicurious. Sometimes it's too hard to pick just one berry.

(The rest went into Strawnana Bread and just plain munching.) Being gluttons for punishment (or just strawberry lovers), we went back this week and picked 6 more pounds.

My freezer jam recipe (from the pectin box) called for 2 cups of crushed strawberries to be mixed with 4 cups of sugar and allowed to sit for 10 minutes. Meanwhile the pectin was mixed in a small saucepan with 3/4 cup water and boiled for 1 minute. The pectin/water was then mixed into the strawberry/sugar mix. Finally, we poured the jam into jars and let it sit out for 24 hours before freezing (for up to 1 year) or putting in the fridge (for 3 weeks).

This was delicious and had a taste somewhere between jam and dessert sauce. (Yes, I put some over ice cream!) I'd be interested in reduced sugar-increased berry recipes though. (I used SureJell pectin, so the recipes would need to work with that kind of pectin.)
