For the last half of this week, my cousin Harlan and his family were visiting from Hawaii. When I was growing up, we spent a lot of time together, but as so often happens as people get older and more involved in their own lives, we’ve drifted. Until Thursday, it had been nearly 10 years since I’d seen him or his family. And it hadn’t been for the fact that his four kids were giant people, it would have felt like no time had passed at all! It was so good! Now, links!

I’m curious- what is the significance of the copper? Thanks!
This blog post explains it: http://hitchhikingtoheaven.com/2010/06/is-it-safe-to-make-jam-in-a-copper-pan.html
Thanks!
After reading the link, maybe I should clarify- I’m wondering why (if) you prefer the copper for even heating, or aesthetics, or something else. Thanks!
I appreciate the copper for its ability to heat quickly and evenly, as well as its capacity for larger batch canning. I would never say that it’s necessary for jam making, but it is a pleasure to use.
Interesting- thanks!
do I see blueberries and peaches in the copper pot – maybe the recipe or what book it may be included in? Thanks
I’ve not posted or published this recipe yet. It’s coming soon!
Looking forward to seeing it as blueberry picking season is coming to the last week here in the south!
