Jam Girl QC

Hi all!

Hope you're all doing good ahead of Christmas!

I wanted to let you know about what happened since the last time I posted, a couple of days before going to a Fair in Myrtle Beach.

I never made it to that Fair... :(
Unfortunately, we were hit with a curve ball, in the form of a (mean) virus.
This will be 2 weeks on Friday, and that virus is still lingering (and very draining).

Because of this, I will not be part of any Fair till I feel stronger.
Also because of this, all the products I have left have dropped from 30 to 70% off in pricing.

As per image below, the number in parenthesis is the quantity left for that product and then its updated price.

Send me a text and we can meet in the area!

This is NOT the end of Jam Girl Qc! It's more of a health pause!

I'm looking forward to making more jams in 2023! And if you have more jams' ideas, please share them. I'd love to know what you have in mind!

MERRY CHRISTMAS & A WONDERFUL AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023!

Happy Tuesday!
Hope y'all had a great Thanksgiving!

Jam Girl QC has been beezy🐝in the kitchen, I'll tell you that much. Just a never ending great therapy! I'm having so much fun trying new recipes, from Quebec (Qc) and the US of A as well!

I'll share with you what I'll be selling at the Holiday Craft & Vendor Fair, Moose Lodge #1959 in Myrtle Beach this coming Sunday!

Honey 🐝& Lemon Jelly🍋
This one I made for Joan Snyder and Cindy Jones! Thank you very much for providing this idea!
This jelly is an absolute delicacy! To top it off, the honey used is local, from Uncle Jim's Southern Honey in Latta, SC!

Apple Butter 🍎
1st time making this, and it will not be the last! Such a rich and smooth apple texture with a hint of cinnamon and a dash of fresh lemon juice. Delicious!

Sweet Zucchini Relish 🥒
An amazing Canadian recipe that uses nice plump zucchinis instead of the good old traditional cucumber kind. Mixed with red/green peppers, onions and a blend of secret spices, you'll never go for store bought relish again!

Christmas Jam
Now, this recipe is from right here in the US of A! Had never heard of it till someone said, make Christmas Jam!
Fresh strawberries and cranberries are what make up this jam and I have to say, the sweet and tart taste is exceptional and a great blend of flavors. Definitely something to have on you Holiday table as a condiment to accompany your yummy meal!

Orange Jelly 🍊
Now, this one is my ''baby''; never done it before, always wanted to. Over 10 lbs. of fresh squeezed oranges plus one pound of also fresh squeezed lemons (needed for the acidity in this jelly) are used. Everything (zest, pulp) is simmered for hours. Then all is strained in a cheese cloth to give you this amazing tasting jelly, no pulp, no chunks. Just a beautiful orange (colored) jelly. I'm beyond amazed at how well it turned out!

Fig Jam
Can't have Christmas without Fig Jam! Another American tradition! Thank you again Joan and Cindy for this idea! Again, a first for me. Very different way to work with. I learned a lot, and loved it. I thought it was a fruit? Nope. It's an inflorescence 🧐. Yep, a cluster of many flowers and seeds contained inside a bulbous stem.🙃
Interesting stuff here! But, good stuff also! So good and sweet!

Another batch of fresh Strawberry Jam (Low Sugar Collection) and a few others fresh jams and preserves that you all know of already will be on my tables this Sunday!

That's all!

Oh, wait! I'll also make Maple Fudge (made from pure Amber Maple Syrup bought in Quebec), Chocolate Fudge and Candy Cane Bark that you could offer as gifts (or not ;) ).

Again, I'm so looking forward to see and meet everyone that'll come to this Fair!

Thank you for believing in me, and for following, liking and sharing my page; it means so much🥰.

Cindy and Joan: you BOTH won a free jar😲! I'll get in touch with you individually after this next Fair!

Happy Sunday y'all!

Jam Girl QC's 1st Fair has now come and gone.

How did it go you may ask? Beyond very well!!!

Got there around 7.30 am to set up my booth (at 38 F and, with the Fair being by the ocean, it did not warm up till around 2.00 🥹 ).

But, I left home with 97 jars and 41 oatmeal/strawberry/banana/blueberry cookies (all in one ☺️) and came back home at 5.00 with... 16 jars and 0 cookies! 🥰

I met wonderful people (even a fellow French Canadian lady!) and had great conversations with each and everyone one of them. It was overall an amazing experience, one that I'm looking forward to have again.
The best sellers (and the ones I'm now out of) were:
- Cranberry/Orange relish
- Cranberry/Orange jam
- Orange marmalade
- Strawberry preserves (Low Sugar Collection)
- Blueberry jam
- Pumpkin & Orange Zest (Agave Collection)
- Kiwi preserves (Low Sugar Collection) and
- Honeycrisp Apple Jelly

In the next few days, Jam Girl QC will be busy making more preserves in preparation for the next Fair on December 4th, again in Myrtle Beach.

Question: what kind of preserves, jam or jelly would you like to have for Christmas? I would love to hear and read your ideas and suggestions!

If I end up making a few jars of your idea, I will offer you a free jar! If more than one person has that same idea, I will then draw a name among y'all.

Like, share my page and write done in the comments also! Some free goodies are coming up in December🤩.

Stay tuned!

Big chunks on mango are absolutely delicious to accompany (among other dishes) fish!

Grab yourself a jar from the Low sugar Collection.

Monday Monday...🎼

This time changing makes me want to have a light lunch; Peach preserves, peach yogurt & sprouted grains with honey!

Big chunks of peach, delish! 🍑

Peach preserves is part of the Low sugar Collection so you can enjoy anytime!

Send me a message to get yourself one of the very few jars left, or choose one of 8 different fruit preserves/jams/jelly.

Happy Sunday y'all! What a beautiful sunny day we're enjoying again today in SC!

I wake up, sip my coffee outside and contemplate my breakfast options. I ain't working today, so I have time to make one I don't have for on weekdays.

I set my mind on waffles🧇! Then I wonder, chocolate or traditional waffles?

Why not BOTH! Then I'll have some ''leftover'' for a weekday :) .

Today, Jam Girl Qc is sharing her breakfast with you; one that you can enjoy at your table, with the same jams you see below. Jams, preserves and jellies made with LOTS of love. This I promise. 🙏

I was able to find a tiny bit of rhubarb this past Friday, enough to make 3 (yes, that's it) jars of Strawberry/Rhubarb preserves in the Low sugar Collection. Get it while it's gone till next year harvest!

I was asked to be part of a Farmer's market and a Festival last week, so you'll start seeing Jam Girl QC a bit more often on weekends, all in different areas.
I CAN'T wait for this chapter to begin and looking forward to meet wonderful people!

Of course, I'm a message away: choose what you'd like, send a message, and I'll make sure you have the jams you chose on your table within hours!

Jam Girl QC,
Home is Where the Jam is. 💕

Good morning all!

Monday mornings call for some kind of ''comfort'' breakfast to start the week on the right foot, don't you think?

Orange marmalade from the Low sugar Collection sounded just about perfect this morning to do just that.

Look at those big chunks of orange! 😲 It's so so good!!!

One of my favorites in the morning!

Message me to get yourself a jar of this sunshine fruit!

Hello everyone! I make awesome preserves, jams and jellies from the freshest fruits I can find. Nine kinds so far and below, the latest 4. 3 collections; Low sugar, Med sugar and Amber organic agave.
Qc stands for Quebec, where I'm from. I've been living in the US of A since 2001 and now reside in Horry County, SC.
I make jams, etc. after work, as I work during the day. Making these is my go to for happy therapy! 😊
Home is where the Jam is! 🌺

SEEDLESS Rasperry jelly (Low sugar Collection

About the Raspberry preserves I made last month, many of you asked, ''is is seedless?''. It is (was) was not.

I went ahead and read thoroughly about the differences between the two.
Did you know that one raspberry can have as many as 100 seeds (😮) and that those seeds are not digested? While I could go on and on about what I learned, I'll leave it at that.
I'm a Translator, not a Doctor ;)

So there you have it! Seedless it is!

I have to share that it was more work than I thought: those seeds end up being anywhere and anywhere all the time! I used lots of cheesecloth and strained each batch (2 cups of fruits each) twice.

If you find a seed, I promise I didn't see it!

This jelly full of nutrients can be used with and on so many things;
- To make your own fruit-flavored yogurt
- To use along with Brie
- To spread on crêpes and French toasts
- To transform a plain bowl of vanilla ice cream
- To be added to your salad dressing (!)
- To glaze meats
- To accompany a good chicken and sizzling pork chops
- Etc., etc.

Grab a jar today! This jelly is simply the BEST there you'll find!

Seedless raspberry jelly:

10 oz jar: $6.00

🥭Mango preserves! Low sugar Collection :)

This mango preserves is a delicious change from your more typical jam flavors; it's sweet (when ripe properly), it's bright and oh so tropical. 🌴

Working with mango is very different than working with other fruits. Why you ask? Because it's not very rich in pectin.

While I'm not into making my preserves with store bought pectin, sometimes there's no other option. If I absolutely need to choose that option, I do so in very tiny quantities and just cook a bit longer to have a thicker product.

However (and this is so cool!), lemons (and their seeds) and limes can be used in replacement of the powder (or liquid) pectin!

So, this mango preserves contains fresh lime juice (used as pectin) and lime zest!
The result? AMAZING!!!

While this preserves works wonderfully with bread, I can also see it being awesome as a glaze for meat and fish, spread on top (or under) a nice slice of cheesecake, added to a healthy bowl of plain yogurt, or just have a spoonful for a bit of sweetness during the day!
However you use it, its taste will instantly fly you to a tropical place...🏝

Mango, Low sugar Collection:

10 oz jar: $5.00 🥭

Happy Sunday y'all!
It's been over a week since my last post; way too long...
Making jams/preserves/jellies is something I do outside my day time job and as soon that part of the day is done, I run to the kitchen (one of my happy places) and make more jams, just about every day of the week.

To the jams and preserves offered to you already I have added 4 new ones made these past few days.

They are: Mango preserves (Low sugar Collection), Strawberry/Raspberry preserves (Low sugar Collection), Blueberry jam (Mid-sugar Collection) and Seedless Raspberry jelly (Low sugar Collection).

I will post each of them separately on my page, Jam Girl Qc, and provide more details about each individually. They all have their own story!

Please visit, like, share and find your favorite jam on my page!

And stay tuned! Jam Girl QC will have some cool stuff (giveaways/surprises? 🫢) to share very soon!

Y'all have a great week ahead!
Nathalie,
Jam Girl Qc

Happy Thursday y'all!
The Jam Girl has been busy these past few days! 🐝
So much so that she's starting a new batch of the Classic Strawberry🍓(low sugar) AND Pumpkin 🍊 (organic amber agave) preserves today!
Thanks to all of you buying them and leaving reviews and comments!
Who's gonna put their hands on the freshest preserves EVER?

Time to hit the kitchen ''therapy''! 🤸‍♀️🥰

Strawberry Rhubarb preserves: Low Sugar Collection IS NOW ON A PRODUCTION PAUSE. It will become available again when rhubarb is back is season.

Another classic! And at this time of year, a very rare find!
When I saw those stalks of rhubarb and the beautiful ruby colored stems at the store last week, something told me to grab it all and go for it!

Fact: did you know rhubarb is a vegetable? 🤔

The chunks of strawberry are still present as they are in the Strawberry preserves, but added is a bit of that tart flavor that rhubarb has forever been known for.

Very limited quantity. Rhubarb is a very seasonal find.

12 oz jar: $6.50 🍓
16 oz jar: $8.50 🍓

The Star🤩 Strawberry preserves: Low Sugar Collection

The preserves that started this passion, the one Mom made every year, the one we ate almost all year long, thanks to Dad waking us up at the crack of dawn to go strawberry picking.

In this preserves, you'll find nice chunks of strawberries (just like my Mom's). Low in sugar, it's perfect for every (not too) sweet tooth. Also ideal on toasts, ice cream, cheesecake, yogurt, etc. It's even good on its own it tastes so delicious!

Rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants, this preserves may very well be one of your favorites!

12 oz jar: $5.50🍓
16 oz jar: $7.50🍓

Pumpkin & Orange zest Preserves

Part of the Agave Collection (sweetened with organic amber agave)

This preserves is one that brings back many memories of younger days. My grand-mother Regina made them every fall. My mom followed suit.
Now I know why it always took so long: cut the pumpkin, empty it, peel it, cut it all in very small cubes, let the cubes air out in a towel 12 hours, rinse and finally, COOK! This moment can't come fast enough!
To this preserves of tender and chunky pumpkin full of beta carotene (and lots more), I added a small quantity of very thinly sliced orange zest.

They are delish!

10 oz jar: $6.

October/November promo
Buy one jar get a 2nd 50% off!

Orange marmalade (''marmelade'' in French): part of the Medium Sugar collection.

As any great orange marmalade, this one also contains the zest of the orange (minus the white part, which I scraped).
Because of the zest, it needs a bit more sugar. Otherwise you could taste the somewhat bitter taste it has.

Who doesn't like a juicy orange in the morning, on a hot day or as a snack?

This preserves is made of huge Florida grown oranges and is absolutely delicious! Why not offer one (or 2) as a gift? Or keep one to yourself ;)

10 oz jar: $8.00 🍊

Raspberry, part of the Low Sugar collection!

''Did you know'' facts.

This delicate small fruit provides potassium and omega-3 fatty acids. Sweet!

Kiwi: part of the Low Sugar'' collection

Kiwi preserves you say? Yes!

"Did you know'' facts:

This fruit is rich with vitamins and antioxidants.

This preserves is part of the Low Sugar collection because the kiwis chosen were sweet on their own. It may need to be adjusted from time to time, depending on their sweetness. This batch is as naturally sweet as can be! Hold a kiwi to your heart!

Hi everyone. My name is Nathalie, a French Canadian gal who's been living in the USA since 2001 and now reside in Little River, SC. Baking, cooking (anything made in the kitchen), has always been a passion and a therapy; it just makes me feel happy(ier).
I'm the oldest of 3 girls (and the mother of Max and Sophie) brought up in a wonderful family back home in the province of Quebec, Canada. (where QC comes from). When we were around 7 yr old all the way to 16 yr old, and when the strawberries were ready/ripe for picking (June/July), my dad (who passed 3 years ago) would wake us up (way too) early to go strawberry picking; it was warm, muggy, full of mosquitoes, our fingers were red for days and we were tired! I think we didn't like it so much... But we did go regardless. We did because that meant my mom would make strawberry preserves (a recipe learned from her mom who learned from her mom) and that we'd eat them all winter. And that was priceless. Those memories also have no price on them. My mom (still with us today) also made raspberries, beets, fruit ketchup, pumpkin, bread & butter, name it. To this day, she still has that passion also.
I started making jams and preserves a few years ago from those recipes and thought, ''why not share this goodness?''.
Therefore, in honor of my roots, passions and my wonderful parents, Jam Girl Qc shall perpetuate that legacy we were given to make preserves and jams with lots of love. 🥰
Preserves made/offered:
Strawberry (low sugar)
Raspberry (low sugar)
Kiwi
Peach
Pumpkin & Orange zest (organic amber agave)
Orange marmalade

Every jar is sealed and processed in a water bath. Yes, you can hear the popping sound! :)
