Cantaloupe Jam: I lost the recipe!!

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Help! I lost the recipe for cantaloupe jam. It was on a thread by a different name, and therefore could not find it under the "food" listings. If anyone else wrote it down, please post it!!!

Not sure how this will look, but I'll try it.

Cantaloupe Jam

2 large cataloupes, peeled, cut into pieces.

2 lemons, juiced

2 oranges, juiced and rinds

1 can #2 1/2 size pineapple tidbits, drained

sugar, the same amount as fruit

1 small bottle maraschino cherries

Combine all ingredients except the cherries. Cook over low heat until thick, about 1 1/2 hours.

Quarter cherries and add the last 15 minutes of cooking time.

To test for doneness, take a tablespoon full from kettle and place in the freezer for a few minutes. If it is thick, it is done.

Immediately ladle into hot, sterile jars and seal.

Hello Graybear and justme: Over on the www.mrssurvival.com forum, under the canning corner, there's a post on preserving cantaloupe...and 3 or 4 different recipes are listed. They all look good! My canteloupe is just now softball size.....I can hardly wait!!
