One of nature's sweetest treats ORELLANA™ | 1,690 likes But what do you do when you have more fruit than you can eat? That’s where the jam pots come in! These special containers are perfect for storing fruits to prolong their lifespan and you can taste them all year. Together, let’s explore the sweet tradition of homemade jam jars!
Have you ever tried to make your own jam? And it’s a fun, easy way to bring summer’s flavor to our cupboards all year long. Homemade jars of jam are a wonderful way to preserve the taste of summer fruits like strawberries, peaches and apricots. All you need is fruit, sugar, and some time, and you’ll have delicious jams you can put on toast, pancakes or eat right off the spoon!
If you want to make your own, begin with washing and chopping your preferred fruit. Toss them in a pot with sugar and a bit of water and cook until soft and mushy. Use to fill clean jars and allow jars to cool (seal). Your pots of homemade jam can stay refrigerated for a few months, waiting for when you feel like a sweet treat!
Once you’ve created your jam bottle, you can top them off with personal labels. Using stickers, markers, or colored paper, create fun labels for each jam flavor. List the type of fruit, the date it was made and any special memories associated with the jam. Your jars of homemade jam won't just taste good, they will also look good!
Do not dispose of your empty jam jars! There’re lots of inventive ways to use them at home. You can use them to hold buttons, beads or other small craft items. They also turn into good containers for homemade candles or bath salts. Be creative, and see how many ways you can come up with to reuse your jam pots.
Mason jars of homemade jam are a wonderful addition to any breakfast spread. Slather them on toast, muffins or scones for a sweet morning kick-off. They can also be stirred into yogurt or oatmeal for a hit of flavor. But then there are all those other ways to enjoy jam pots, and plenty of opportunity to get creative with your favorite fruits.
