I am not alone......it keeping ringing in my head as I chatted with the creator of The Jam Pot, Pat Russell thinks outside the box when it comes to Jam and Jellies....her creation of Toe Jam had me chuckling, but what really drew my attention was the Vampire Jelly and Garlic Jelly. As we talked jam she told me to hold my jam secrets close to my heart, however she let me in on one of hers. I'll never tell promise and pinky swear.....Thank you Pat for your advise and tips on jamming. I am newbie to canning when it comes to women like Pat and I always love to pick the brains of the experts...they are fearless canners. Pat will be a vendor at this years Hill's Garlic Festival and she will be featuring her soon to be FAMOUS Vampire Jelly. If you want to see where Pat will be next or get your hands on some Vampire Jelly...you can email her:

Well, Bruce and I have hit the Artisan Trail starting with antiques in Lone Butte (Smith Antiques & Lighting, Hank Smith is a fountain of knowledge) where I picked a fabulous 100 year old scale for my garden stand and a lovely unique sugar shaker in Barriere, BC. In Salmon Arm we found Grass Root Dairies, we bought out the store in handmade cheese....now all we needed was the wine. We never did scout out a winery, however we did come across Wild Kootenay single flower honey and my name sake Jennifer's Chocolates in Nakusp, BC. Plus all the wonderful merchants at the Revelstoke Farmer's Market Saturday Morning. We have had a wonderful time so far and will continue on tomorrow as head off to the Hill's Garlic Festival for the most garlicaceous day ever!!!!!
Grow, Harvest, Cook, Eat
