@JimBobCooter‌ what movie is about garden tomatoes. I want to see it if it exists. =P~

Also, right now I love making jam (I do freezer jam, which doesn't require canning equipment). It's so easy, it's tasty, and it means no icky chemicals or additives - just fruit, sugar, pectin and water.

@Austrogermokee‌ now you have to share your jam recipe.

Freezer jam is so easy! This is the one I made last night: https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/blueberry-freezer-jam/8a024e45-67b2-4fe0-89fc-806025bed114

You can easily find a recipe by Googling "(type of fruit) freezer jam." It's called freezer jam because it isn't shelf stable - it should be stored in the freezer, then once it's defrosted you should use it up within two weeks. You need canning equipment and more steps to make shelf stable jam. I use smaller Mason jars so it gets used up before it goes bad, but Tupperware is okay too.

All you need to do is mash up fruit and sugar, and let it sit for 20 minutes. Then boil together pectin (a congealing agent) and water, stirring, and pour the mixture over the fruit and sugar. Stir, pour into jars, leave out on the counter for 24 hours to set, then move to fridge or freezer. It's not as thick as store-bought stuff, but you can really taste the fruit instead of a bunch of chemicals.

Now I'm thinking this weekend I'll go hit the farmer's market and load up on fruit so I can make a winter supply of jam.

Thanks @Austrogermokee‌ that is super simple. I love making things fresh with no additives. This is going to be great for me.

Austrogermokee

You're welcome! It's so easy that I'm never going back to store-bought again.

So I made yummy cheese pie with my garden tomatoes and I've eaten so much my allergy to citric acid is in full swing. I can't stop itching my body and I had to take Benadryl yesterday and slept through half of the day

I love cookouts on 3 day weekends!  I also love lazy afternoons on the back porch and chilled white wine.
