Cumquat Jam Success!

THE JAM TASTES BEAUTIFUL... NICE AND SWEET TOO!!!

ok.. for those who don't know what a cumquat looks like, here is a photo of how gigantic the fruit is! LOL!.. for overseas readers, that is our 50 cents piece next to the cumquat.

Next is a photo of my gigantic tree! I coaxed "Dusty", my boyfriend's faithful companion to sit next to the tree so you can judge how big it is. The tree was given to me in a pot a few months ago, so my boyfriend planted it for me and fed it with cow manure from his dairy farm.


So, now you can imagine how tedious it was to cut up the fruit to make the jam, plus each one of those cumquats would have AT LEAST 6 seeds.


Until next post..

Cheers...Jewells
