    Thanks.
    Pretty much I just want to start experimenting with making new combinations
    and flavors of jams but I don't want to preserve them or anything, just make
    them and eat them.

    The minute I start to think about preserving something I know everyone within
    12 miles of me will get botulism and die...before I even preserve anything!

    We'll talk - are we going to Penzeys THIS weekend? Saturday.

    You won't kill anyone with jam or jelly. Believe it. The U of GA is
    coming out with a new edition of their "So Easy to Preserve" book this
    spring. That's a good one, as is the better-known Ball Blue Book (Fleet
    Farm/ WalMart/KMart, in the spring, or from homecanning.com). You need
    some basic understanding and we can do that. I've got lots of
    resources, too. :-)

    I think saturday will work. We were talking about doing a sushi party at my
    place but I've go so much going on right now that I don't think I can whip the
    house into presentation state this week. So, going to coffee/penzey's sounds
    like a better plan.

    My grandfather's 80th birthday is next month and I've been tasked with doing
    the food, I'd like to make an interesting jam to serve on the cheese plate.

    We can talk about that. I've got recipes. And we're going to have to
    hit Penzeys and do coffee before noon - I just learned about another
    funeral I have to go to on Saturday afternoon. Honest to Alex!! MOF,
    I'll send the obit to you at work -- the lovely man went to school at
    what's now the name of the place where you work.

    Every day I check the obituaries in three papers that cover most of my
    friends and family. If I don't see any names I know, it's a good day.

    All I can say Barb, is you'd better be taking good care of yourself. I
    doubt there are enough hotel rooms in your area to accommodate all of
    us!

    She can't go till I have enough money in the bank to pay for airfares to
    the funeral - and at the rate we're going, that'll be quite a few years yet

    What has this got to do with making jam in a bread machine?
    I think you have newsgroups confused with chat rooms.

    Don't post completely irreverent messages to a newsgroup - use a chat
    room instead, then we all won't have to read your personal messages.

    The idea of a newsgroup, is to post messages that EVERYONE is
    interested in.

    Well, I don't know if I'd say Maxine's post was completely irreverent,
    although I suppose she could have been more serious. I think perhaps you
    meant irrelevant, though how anyone could think that messages relating to
    Barb are irrelevant to RFC, I don't know <g>.

    I think you might need to have a newsgroup with a very narrow frame of
    reference to have messages that EVERYONE is interested in. Even amongst
    what you would consider On Topic posts for RFC there are some I have not
    the slightest interest in - foodstuffs I don't eat, stores/products found
    in the USA but not where I live, TV shows I've never seen.. I think
    you'll find the situations much the same for everyone.

    You're right, although sometimes the irreverent messages do brighten up
    the day.

    And the irrelevant messages (like this one) shouldn't be here but
    sometimes show up because the thread drifts.

    Here are a couple recipes -- for bread and jam -- but not in an electric
    bread machine. "-) I hope you'll be interested in them. What's kind
    of cool is that in 2000 I had the best of the jams at the Fair -- and
    the blue ribbon for white bread to spread it on. How can you beat that?

    Sweepstakes White Bread (Half recipe - 2 large loaves)

    Recipe By: posted again to rec.food.cooking by Barb Schaller, 1-21-2006
    Serving Size: 24
    Preparation Time: 4:30

    1 package active dry yeast (2-1/2 teaspoons) (1/4 oz.)
    1/4 cup warm water (110F/45C)
    1/2 tsp sugar
    1 cup milk scalded
    3 tablespoons shortening scant
    3 tablespoons sugar scant
    1 tablespoon salt
    3/4 cup cold water
    2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (2 1/2 to 2 3/4 cup)
    2 1/2 cups bread flour (2 1/2 to 2 3/4 cup)
    Butter

    In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water with 1/2 teaspoon sugar.
    In a large bowl, combine scalded milk, sugar, shortening, and salt. Add
    cold water to cool mixture to lukewarm. Stir in dissolved yeast, 2 cups
    all purpose flour and 2 cups bread flour. Beat well until smooth. By
    hand, stir in enough additional flour to make a stiff dough. Turn out
    dough onto a floured surface, Knead minimum of 10 minutes or until
    dough is smooth and elastic. Wash and grease a large bowl. Place dough
    in bowl. Cover with plastic film; let rise in a warm place 60-75
    minutes or until doubled in size. Punch down dough. Cover, let rise 30
    minutes. Punch down dough. Divide dough in 2 pieces; shape in oblongs.
    Cover with an inverted bowl and let rest 15 minutes. Grease 2
    (8-1/2"x4-1/2"😉 loaf pans. Shape dough pieces in loaves. Place in
    greased pans and lightly grease tops of loaves. Cover and let rise
    until loaves are light and almost as high as you want them when baked,
    about 45 to 60 minutes. Preheat oven to 400F (205C). Bake in preheated
    oven 45 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when lightly tapped.
    Remove from pans. Immediately butter tops of warm loaves. Makes 2
    loaves.

    You must be new to this forum. Barb has been sharing advice with
    anyone who asks for eons, and when she's down we will empathize,
    sympathize, and try to cheer her up a bit.

    And if you are concerned about posting relevant messages to this
    newsgroup, perhaps you should reconsider the one you sent just sent to
    which I am responding.

    and when it came back on, dinner was on the table in 20 minutes.

    Oh thats great. We lost power a couple of weeks ago, but I wasn't
    home so it didnt matter - but I just thought I would share it with you
    all.

    By the way, did I tell you what time my dog went to sleep last night?
    Let me know if you want me to post it coz I'd love to share it with
    you. (Hint - he woke up quite late!)
