If I do it again (and I probably will), I will:<br />--try it without the beet slices just to see what color it is!<br />--chop the fruit more finely before cooking.

Yummy even.Dreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059983303403184992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8668428516674474929.post-49527200315684363612010-10-13T12:59:54.192-07:002010-10-13T12:59:54.192-07:00How did this jam turn out?
