That Girls Jam

With the holidays ending and the New Year beginning I have not had much time to make jam. I have been in the kitchen making baked goods and toffee for all my friends and family for the holidays. I have also discovered a great recipe for homemade granola bars, which are a big hit.
Lately I have been craving to make some fall jams and I have been very interested in using the seasonal pears. Last night the time was right! I made a test batch of lovely poached pears with cherry juice infused with mulling spices such as star anise, clove, dried orange peel and cinnamon sick’s.

Life is about versatilities…someone special enlightened me on a summer spin on jam. With the weather heating up it’s always nice to have something cold and refreshing, so the next time you want a fruity drink pull out your favorite jam. Strange huh well recipe goes as follows…
2 tablespoons of Jam
1 cup of ice (crushed is preferred)
1 cup of water/Pellegrino or Prosecco (sparkling wine)
Directions
Add 2 tablespoons of jam to the bottom of your glass. Then add ice and water and stir until fruit is mixed and cold.
Enjoy!
