HEAVENLY JAM
This is an old recipe that has been in my family for a very long time. Again, as in many Mennonite recipes the measurements aren't exact since it's hard to expect how many cups chopped fruit with be. You will need equal cups for sugar to cups of fruit. Ex. 4 cups of fruit and 4 cups of sugar.

Steps:
- Wash the oranges and lemons and slice thinly. Put them in a pot with just enough water to cover the fruit. Let it stand in the water overnight. Don't drain the water but cook them in it until they're soft. Wash and peal the remaining fruit. Add to the citrus mixture starting with the firmest fruit first. Cook a bit longer until all the fruit is tender. Measure the fruit and add equal amounts of sugar to the fruit. Boil it slowly until it's thick like a syrup. The jam with thicken more as it cools. Stir in quartered maraschino cherries for colour. Pour into hot sterilized jam jars and seal with the lid. The lids should pop on their own if the jars were hot prior to pouring the jam into them.
HEAVENLY PEACHY VANILLA FREEZER JAM
This may be a simple recipe for peach jam but the flavor is outstanding! I wanted to keep the integrity of the peach and all it's yumminess so I decided to not cook it and make freezer jam instead. The taste of peaches with vanilla bean is truly Heavenly.

Tips:
- Choose the right fruit: Use ripe, flavorful fruit for the best results. Overripe or bruised fruit will not yield as good of a jam.
- Prepare your fruit properly: Some fruits, such as peaches and apricots, need to be peeled and pitted before they can be used in jam. Others, such as berries, can be used whole.
- Use a good quality pectin: Pectin is a natural thickener that helps jam set. Be sure to use a pectin that is specifically designed for the type of fruit you are using.
- Cook the jam to the right temperature: The temperature at which you cook the jam will determine its consistency. For a thick jam, cook it to 220 degrees Fahrenheit (104 degrees Celsius). For a softer jam, cook it to 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius).
- Let the jam cool completely before canning: This will help to prevent the jars from sealing improperly.
Conclusion:
Making heavenly jam is a fun and rewarding experience. With a little practice, you can create delicious jams that your family and friends will love. So next time you have some fresh fruit on hand, give jam making a try!
