It turns out that even though we may have seen melon jams and jellies canned before, the fruit is actually so low in acid that there isn’t really any safe way to can it and prevent botulism!The sugar that is normally added to jams and jellies isn’t quite enough to make up for the lack of acidity and no conclusive testing has been done to really know what’s safe.
So freezing is the way to go!.This jam is really yummy on a croissant, or toast in the morning, but it’s really amazing as an appetizer on crackers with a bit of cream cheese or goat’s cheese!.This would also be really great over ice cream or mixed into greek yogurt, but the very best part of it is that it probably only took my about 2 minutes total working time to make this impressive jam!
It would definitely be a great thing to make a big batch of to give as gifts or bring as a snack to potlucks later on in the year.So much more interesting than plain strawberry jam!.
If you’ve got a whole bunch of cantaloupe growing in your garden this year, or if you see it on sale at the store later on in the gardening season, why not take 2 minutes and give this one a try?
Even if cantaloupe isn’t your thing, I can pretty much guarantee that this jam will be!In my quest to find ways to use up my stash of jars lately, I’ve been coming across all of these DIY sugar scrub recipes that people have made.The problem is that to figure all that out and then get working and get some installation going on would take pretty much a whole day.
And then I think I’d feel guilty for all of the other things I’d miss getting done during that time.. Yup, I over-think things..So I haven’t yet.
Or Chris may just do it in “20 seconds” like he says he can sometime this weekend..I did get a new thermostat though!
