I was cleaning out the freezer the other day and a good thing it was, too.  Boy, did we have stores!!!!!  Among the many items were 2 very large containers of sliced peaches.  One was converted into a huge peach cobbler and the other, along with about ¼ of the first, went into a pot with a little bit of sugar (whatever I had in the sugar bin and it wasn’t too much, maybe a cup and a half), some almond extract, and lemon juice.  I boiled it up for an hour or so – just until it was jammy and then packed it into some Weck food storage jars that Lynn and I had purchased at the Heath Ceramics (www.heathceramics.com) booth at the San Francisco Ferry Market last fall.  I had been itching to use them; they are so eye-pleasing.  The jars are not great for long term canning, but work fine for the fridge.  I quickly handed out the filled jars with strict instructions to keep the jam in the fridge and to return my jars asap if they want to ever get another gift from my kitchen.  You’ll hear more about other things I unearthed in the freezer, for sure.
