| This is going to be another dud posting.The interesting thing i did in 2013 was making paw-paw icecream,which turn-out amazing a whole lot better than persimmon. You guys probably have eaten cherries jubilee,well i made fig jubilee.I got the recipe from a waiter(tableside) in a not so fancy restaurant years and years ago that was better than Anthone i n the french quater,New Orleans that was there signature desert.Turn-out also excellent.All i did was substetude cherries for figs. You got to read something in the winter!!! |

| Persimmonbob! I am still luxuriating in eating my homemade Black Currant Jam. I eat it on fresh croissants in the morning. It is gilding the lily but, it is the best. The jars I gave out at Christmas are history and were much enjoyed. Mrs. G |

| Quince jelly was my most favorite fruit product of this year. I bought the fruit at the local farmers market, and I'll be putting in my own tree this spring. My children would disagree, my oldest son is hoarding the low-sugar strawberry jam and asking me to make much more next year. |

| I made quince jelly, but to tell the truth, I didn't like it. My best jam was black and red wild raspberries. With black and blue jam a close second. The most expensive jelly in the world is white currant jelly, made in France. $10.00 an ounce. I make it too, it's very good, but I prefer the red currant jelly myself. Mulberries are awesome too, i like to mix blackberries and mulberries for syrup and jam. A really simple dessert was taking frozen raspberries and dipping them in Ghirardelli Chocolate Melting Wafers. I usually use dark chocolate, but this brand kept liquid long enough to dip over 20 frozen berries and stayed workable. Very nice!! Easy, and super good. I'll be doing this every year from now on. Blueberries or any berry would rock too! I just ran out of all others. Next year I'll have more blueberries to work with. I'm adding three blueberry plants too. So I'll have 6 total. |

| This year it was persimmon leather. My family doesn't like persimmon looks because they are not familiar, but the leather was a big hit. I also made my usual Satsuma plum jam. I gave some to a friend and she thought I had added cloves to the jam. Its surprising how strong a clove flavor there can be in plums. Scott |
