What do you think? Should we jam?

Hey guys,


So there has been this thought brewing in the back of my mind for the past few months and I want to get your opinions on it.  I am one of those lucky people that was raised on home-grown veggies and fruits.  I am also one of those weirdos who never had to taste store-bought jelly or jam until I went to college.  (I know, crazy right?) 

Because I was raised this way, I was taught many tricks of the home-grown/homemade trade like gardening, cooking, baking, canning etc. (hence the blog).  My parents taught me most of what I know today and for that I am eternally grateful.  They read this blog so I also want to note that I am not attempting to suck up to them right now.  :-D

Anyway, all this being said, I was taught how to can things like sauces, vegetables, fruits, tomatoes, jam, and jelly.  Over the past few years I have done a lot of experimenting and have come up with what I feel is an awesome recipe for strawberry jam.  This is something that I have given away to several friends and they have enjoyed it on sandwiches, ice cream or just straight out of the jar.

Here is where your opinion comes in...
My housemate has told me on several occasions along with a few others that I should put this stuff on the market.  I am seriously contemplating selling it.  The question is: If I sold this, would you buy it?  

If you have not tasted it, then you don't know; but if you have, then you know the answer to that question.  I am curious of your thoughts and opinions.  If you have not tasted it, I will gladly give you a sample jar to taste!  :-D

** I want to note that an awesome opportunity to try this is tomorrow (Saturday, August 13th) at The North Market starting at 9 am!**



Post, comment, etc.  Let me hear you!
