A Bungalow in Texas

• Thursday, June 21, 2007 - It worked!

Posted in Cooking

I combined the many suggestions I received regarding my peach jelly.  I cooked the peaches with the skins on, didn't add any water, made sure there were some not so ripe peaches in the pot, and then I threw in a handfull of strawberries.  It worked! I actually had some peach jelly that jelled!  Yippee!

Coming soon..........blackberry jelly and wild grape jelly.

Blessings to you all,

Karmann

• Wednesday, June 20, 2007 - PEACHES!

Posted in Cooking

Two weeks ago it was plums.  This week it is peaches.  My dad is blessing me with peaches this week.  I've put peaches in the freezer-no more freezer space, though.  I've made peach jam for my step-mom.  Of course, it didn't jell, so she has some "gourmet peach sauce" for ice cream and pancakes.  I've got some cooked up for jelly that I will make this evening.

I've never, ever had peach jelly or jam set up.  It always stays runny.  I had some people make a couple of suggestions, so we will see how that turns out.  One was to cook the peaches with the skins on them.  I did that.  I didn't add any water.  I also threw a handfull of strawberries in with the peaches for good measure.  Should be some tasty jelly, I hope, instead of ice cream sauce.  I'll let you know how it turns out.

I've also made some peach cobbler and my DH has been getting peach smoothies every morning this week.  Smoothies with three or four peaches in them.  Very peachy smoothies. 

I started attending a ladies' summer bible study yesterday.  It is a study on forgiveness.  This week's assignment is to read Romans 12 each day.  I've done that today.  We also have a memory verse, which is:

Ephesians 4:32: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Blessings to you,

• Thursday, June 7, 2007 - PLUMS coming out my ears!

Posted in Cooking

My father keeps "blessing" me with plums.  So far, I've made 35 pints of plum jelly, and I have enough prepared juice for at least another 10 pints of jelly. 

My fingers are an orangy-red.  What a busy week!

Off to make more jelly........

Blessings to you,

Karmann in Texas
