I made several batches of freezer peach jam today. IT is so good! Thanks Leanne for the peaches!
I tried a new kind of pectin - Ball Fruit Pectin, I just got it at Walmart - it was the cheapest at $1.41 a box (which is still a lot) but anyway, there is a coupon inside (in the instructions) for 50 cents off your next box, that will make them 91 cents, that seems like a good deal. I also liked that this kind doesn't require a cup of corn syrup like the MCP kind. You add water to the pectin and cook it. The recipe also required less fruit, but same sugar (minus the corn syrup so maybe a wash?) It really streched the peaches. MCP called for 3 1/4 cups of peaches the Ball kind only called for 2 1/4 cups. It seemed way faster than the MCP kind too. - my two cents!
So I saw these on PYP, seemed like they were cute, don't know if my kids will actually do any of them, but someone sure put a lot of work into them.
General Conference packet #1 for kids
General Conference packet #2 for kids
Last Sunday the kids wanted something to do and I showed them these. It entertained them for a good hour. They would just click on each chapter (on the side bar, the window's media player) I couldn't figure out a way to just play the whole thing. They listened/watched the whole Book of Mormon Stories and then started over. They were quiet as can be. I am going to show them the other books and they can watch them on Sunday if they won't watch conference, so I can listen to part of conference in peace and quiet.
Happy General Conference!

Hey I need your recipe for peach freezer jam. That sounds so YUMMY!!!
I have a bottled recipe for raspberry peach jam if you are ever interested. It is mostly peaches but tastes like raspberry. It is the only jam my family will eat now. The conference packets are awesome! Thanks for sharing!
hey post the white family recipe for peach raspberry jam, ok?
you're welcome! Thanks for watching my kids and letting me talk your head off! I miss living by you!
Hi Teri, I love the links you put on your blog especially the stories from the scriptures. I saved it to my favorites. Your blog always has helpful information. THANKS!!
You jam definitely sounds yummy. I've been drying plums and pears and making grape juice as well as plum syrup! Let me know if you ever need any help with it all!
Ok Teri, I saw a woman on Opray who was the coupon queen. I want to learn how to get the deals you get. You should make a blog about couponing!! (Is that a word?)
