Gotta learn how to make jam!



What did people say?

  • ⇒ Annie: I’m a jelly maker myself. So fun and makes great teacher gifts! And I give the skins and pulp to my boss for her chickens.
  • ⇒ Robin: Making jam is a gateway to canning. You're likely to escalate to pickles and tomatoes. 
  • ⇒ Judy: Frozen grapes are also wonderful on sore throats, in addition to keeping wine cold without diluting it.
  • ⇒ Carla: I just picked over 40 lbs of my champion blue-ribbons grapes (fair). my friend makes jelly & cordial w/ it.
  • ⇒ Un Kno: Soo easy 1 pound fruit 1/2 cup sugar. Med heat while mashing fruit til it’s dark. Test by placing small amount on a glass plate from freezer. Drag spoon thur tester if it comes back together after 2 min on sitting on counter not ready. Like takes 20 minutes max.

I need to repurpose taco soup? What ideas do you have?

I’m divorcing and downsizing considerably I have made a point of not purchasing too much house and plan to live within my means. I enjoy holidays and days will my children but try to do these frugally. We sell everything we can and I cook from scratch.

But I put that $1.93 in the bank!  ⇒ Michele: I was part of a class action suit and received a check for .51 cents a couple of months ago. Never cashed it. ⇒ Jeanette: Well in the words of my great grandmother it's better than a jab in the butt with a sharp stick. At least it's a little something ⇒ Cheryl: Now I feel really lucky. Yesterday I got a debit card for $7.86 from a class action law suit against our Electric company. Enjoy. ⇒ Brenda: Don’t tell family. I won $10.00 from publishing clearing house and I h...
