..And a hug around the neck

I've started a movement in my house to step away from convenience food, fast food, processed food and bring the food that goes into my family back to the beginning of where it should be prepared: in my kitchen. It isn't always easy- especially in this rush rush world- but I can control what goes into the food, which keeps my family healthier. I share my recipes with you, so that you, too, can benefit from what I've learned.

Persimmon Freezer Jam

 I love tart flavors. Persimmons are one of those wonderful fruits that can be tart or sweet or both at the same time depending on how you prepare it.

Ingredients:
5 cups pureed persimmons
3 cups white sugar
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 pinch ground nutmeg

In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine persimmon puree, sugar, lemon juice, orange zest and nutmeg. Boil for 30 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Pour into sterilized jars and seal. Store in the freezer.
