Are you enjoying the abundance of strawberries, blueberries and peaches right now? Whether you grow your own, pick fruit in an orchard or simply have access to stores with an amazing amount of fresh, ripe fruit, you may be like me, wondering how on earth you can preserve some for later. Fruit jams and jellies are so easy to make, there is absolutely no excuse not to save lots for later. One of my favorite foods of all time, strawberry jelly can actually be made in a very short amount of time, and you really don’t even need that much fruit to make a batch of any sort of preserve. You can just make the recipe smaller when you need to. I have tried this with figs and fruits where I sometimes only get a small amount at a time. Lots and lots of things can be reserved into jams and jellies, though. I decided to share my 33 favorite recipes with you, so you could also try them out. Get your mason jars and largest pots out and get busy making some amazing jars of sweet, fruit goodness.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
