Hello Constance, this jam should be delicious, I'll try. I am a big fan of homemade jams. Every year I make of blackberries, barilla holding spa cantaloupe, pumpkin and courgette recently. I pick the blackberries in a village of Castelo barilla holding spa Branco and how locals say the blackberry is only good when the grapes are ready for harvest, take this recommendation and is actually a compote delicious. Melon always do that disappoints us as the fruit on the palate, but in jam is always good. Pumpkin beyond the usual way and if you like coconut, barilla holding spa I suggest you try what I learned many years ago with my godmother. When the sweet pumpkin is ready but still the fire and for each pound of pumpkin, then add 100g of grated coconut and let it boil a little love. From cougette barilla holding spa is a delight and can join at the end, walnuts, pine nuts or almonds to taste, as is done for the sweet pumpkin. Good jams!

Hello Constance! These green berries in the photos are crab apples? This morning I noticed that I have some in the backyard - still green, but I think it is because the flowers sprouted two months ago are similar to that tree - Constanta ever made jelly that taste?
