So a few days ago I told you about the Tomato Jam I made for the jam exchange. Well now let me tell you about the jam I received, and what I immediately made with it.
My package came from Steph in Rochester, I thought right away it was the jam exchange host herself, ::steph chows::, but it was actually from her roommate Steph (I bet that can get confusing!)
She sent me Strawberry Rhubarb, Triple Berry and Apple Butter. WOW! They were all so great and each so different from each other. I used the Triple Berry Jam to create the swirl in my bread.
I really need to get that Apple Butter recipe, it was so good….
and that Strawberry Rhubarb Jam recipe….
and that Triple Berry Jam recipe…
