Well, you should do it too.

Well, OK, I gave some to my neighbor and I froze a bit too for future snacking, but I did eat most of it.like cantaloupe after all!

To be fair, this jam tastes more like a cross between cotton candy and the nectar of the gods, than cantaloupe.*edit* STOP RIGHT THERE!!!It turns out that even though we may have seen melon jams and jellies canned before, the fruit is actually so low in acid that there isn’t really any safe way to can it and prevent botulism!

The sugar that is normally added to jams and jellies isn’t quite enough to make up for the lack of acidity and no conclusive testing has been done to really know what’s safe.So freezing is the way to go!.

This jam is really yummy on a croissant, or toast in the morning, but it’s really amazing as an appetizer on crackers with a bit of cream cheese or goat’s cheese!.

This would also be really great over ice cream or mixed into greek yogurt, but the very best part of it is that it probably only took my about 2 minutes total working time to make this impressive jam!How do I explain what I’m doing?

“Oh, I know I should be home weeding the garden and mopping the floors or maybe doing something normal like filling up the gas tank, but I really just like to go dig through other peoples old smelly junk.For fun!” I know to you and me, that sounds like the best time ever.

But I still feel like “normal” people don’t do that..So anyway, wanna see what I found?.
