Comments I've received about this jam...

Your jam is fabu!!!! I was surfing the net for a ginger jam recipe and stumbled upon yours. I'd rejected several where ginger was a secondary flavoring ingredient to other fruits, but yours looked like it was going to be all about ginger. I'm typically suspicious of recipes on the Internet. Too often I've found that ingredients are missing or quantities are out of whack, but I know enough about making jam that I could tell yours looked about right. Other than changing to stove top cooking instead of microwave and hot water bath processing instead of freezer I followed it exactly and . . . WOW!!! This stuff is great - not wimpy either. There's plenty of ginger flavor. Delicious. Thanks a million. Sharon Martinez, California

I just wanted to let you know that I made the jam - and it's wonderful! My first canning experience ever. Warmly, Amie Thurber, Montana
