Strawberry Peach Jam

This little blog has been a bit neglected lately. Poor thing. What have I been doing?

Well... visiting with family, cuddling my babies, and eating peaches, mostly. All good things. I love summer fruits and berries. My neighbor and I got a few cases of peaches recently and spent some time "putting them up."

( Psst... Don't you love my new cake stand?!? I got it at Home Goods for 15 bucks a couple of weeks ago, and I've been meaning to share it with you all. I just love looking at it. I'm sure it will surface on this blog again.)

I wanted to try out this strawberry peach jam recipe. It is yummmmmmmy, but it just did not want to gel for me. I cooked the stuff for nearly an hour and then decided I was okay with runny jam. It ended up not being too too runny, so we'll call it a success.

Mmmmm... tastes like summer.

If you make 16 jars of jam, you really need to give some away. No one needs 16 jars of jam. Right?

And if you are going to give jam away, you probably need to stick some cute tags on the jars and tie on some little bows. Right?

Right. 

I downloaded these FREE (!) printable tags from the Cottage Industrialist here. And I made my own baker's twine. I will tell you a little bit more about that tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Hey! By the way, I would LOVE it if you would like to link up some of your favorite projects from the last few months here.
