This festive jam is being posted for a request. I found it recently in a community type cookbook and I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

The jam didn't set properly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This jam is a little too tart for my taste. I think I'll add a little more sugar next time I make it.

This jam is a great way to use up leftover citrus fruits. I had a bunch of oranges and lemons that were about to go bad, so I decided to make a batch of jam. The jam turned out great and it's a delicious way to enjoy citrus fruits.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of citrusy jams. But I'm so glad I did! The jam is perfectly balanced and the flavor is amazing. I'll definitely be making this again.

I've been making this jam for years and it's always a hit. The only thing I do differently is that I add a little bit of ginger to the mix. It gives the jam a nice spicy kick.

This Christmas jam is a real winner! It's so easy to make and the flavor is out of this world. I used a mix of oranges, lemons, and limes, and the citrusy flavor really shines through. I can't wait to give jars of this jam as gifts this year.
