Did you know that Swistle is running a super, duper pay it forward extravaganza? Go enter as many as you can! Just be sure you're ready to pay it forward on your blog.
I did make pickled green beans (too many beans in the garden). Not sure if they're any good....
And since I can't resist joining in I decided to pay it forward again. Last time the winners got personal stationary. This time, you'll get jam. Plus a Kids'R'Us gift card that I have lying around and will NEVER use. Not sure how much money is on the card so it'll be a surprise (perhaps a valuable surprise) (perhaps not).
Working on some jar label designs
To enter, just leave a comment with your favorite flavor of jam and I'll draw a winner next weekend after I return from my romantic 8th wedding anniversary weekend. Enter before July 4 to be sure you're in the running.
extra strawberry lemonade jam
Fine print: if you win, you're saying you'll pay it forward on your own blog sometime in the next year. Or that you'll send a random someone a random gift. If you are outside the USA and you win I'll probably change the prize since jam is too expensive to ship and you may not have a Kids'R'Us around.
Good luck!
Wow - that jam looks great! My fave is blackberry. But I do live outside the US in Australia - maybe if I win you could send my jam to my inlaws in Canada? (May as well be optimistic :)

This is a little freaky - I'm in Australia as well. But will be in the USA soon. So it's all good. And I LOVE apricot jam.

I LOVE orange marmalade on rye bread. Is that a jam? If not then strawberry. Mmmmm...

Grape jelly when I am in the mood, but otherwise Strawberry. Yum! (Have to have Peanut Butter too though...)

I love making strawberry rhubarb or strawberry pineapple jam -- yum! I don't have a blog, but I will do a random gift to a random stranger -- I even have an almost finished quilt I could give!

ummm... I don't like jam. It goes back to my dislike for all cooked fruit. No apple pies even. Yes, I know. UnAmerican and all that.
I do however love pickled greenbeans!

My favourite kind of jam is plum (I'm in Canada, and I don't have a blog so if I win I'll be going with the random someone option).

I absolutely love Blackberry jam. So good.

I like berry jams (especially if they aren't too sweet).

My grandma used to make a strawberry jam that I'd practically want to eat directly out of the jar. But I really like a LOT of jams: strawberry, blackberry, raspberry, grape (jam not jelly), cherry. And so you have my interest at the mention of strawberry-lemonade jam, which I have never tried or heard of.

I love the berry jams. Black, rasp, straw. All those.

Raspberry jam. My grandma's made it every year since the beginning of time, and my mom and I just recently started making our own every summer. YUM. I love jam!
Posted by: Caley | July 01, 2008 at 07:54 PM
Blackberry (with seeds ) all the way!
Posted by: Jennifer | July 01, 2008 at 11:11 PM
Oh I love strawberry jam but that extra strawberry lemonade jam looks--and sounds--amazing so that will be my new favorite :)
Posted by: aimee | July 02, 2008 at 09:04 AM
raspberry - with strawberry coming in a close second. :)
Posted by: jenny | July 02, 2008 at 12:57 PM
Raspberry peach?
Actually just about any homemade jam is awesome.
Posted by: EMama | July 02, 2008 at 01:54 PM
I'm easy *giggle* I can't think of any that I don't like so if I win you could just close your eyes and pick. 80)
