Don’t you love it when folks ask for more of what you just made? It is certainly satisfying to make something that everyone enjoys and our Crumpets are a family hit… I tweaked my recipe a bit to fine tune the air bubbles so popular in what we call ‘English Muffins’… but sometimes ‘rediscovering’ old secrets can be fun… even tasty!
At our local Farmer’s Market , I found a very nice vendor who produces a very superior Jam and Jellies called “Mama’s Preserves.” What drew my attention are two of my favorites… one was a blueberry and another a Plum Jam…. we don’t often find these out here and I couldn’t resist trying them out!
BTW. I prefer to find Jams and Jellies that don’t use HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP…. and , unfortunately, most of the labels of the large commercial companies, even many gourmet jams and jellies use it. Although it may be a coincidence that America got ‘fat’ at exactly the same time this stuff hit the market… I don’t like what I read about it… and what’s bad, they now want to change the name.
