So glad I found your video. I am going to make this,for sure. Thank you
Hope you enjoy
Thank you Lulu. I’m glad I watched your video, I had some extra cantaloupe. I didn’t know what to do with. What a blessing to have this recipe. Again, thank you so much for your help.❌⭕️🙏🏽♥️
You are so welcome
Appreciating this video! Started my first family garden and I have about 7 cantaloupe that I just harvested. I had no idea how to preserve it. This is wonderful Thank you!
Hi! Congratulations new gardener!
Used your measurements for just 1 cantaloupe, it turned out perfect! Thank you for this recipe
Awesome!
Thanks for sharing 🙏
My pleasure
Many yeas ago, probably 40, I made large batches of strawberry jam but making my final batch I did not have enough strawberries so what did I have in my fridge, cantaloupe so I made strawberry cantaloupe, it was delicious so I began creating so many fruit jams with cantaloupe added, everyone was sooooo delicious! Thank you for sharing!
❤❤❤❤❤😊
Yeah, this is my favorite video of all time. I can't eat fresh cantaloupe but this way I can enjoy it any day I choose. You just changed my life. Thank you! So cool!.
Nice! Enjoy!
Absolutely wonderful tutorial of canning a nice jam. See, I always wondered why everyone skimmed off the froth because I found when I did it ALWAYS made my jam runny. I also love the idea of how you let the fruit sit for a time in between each step of adding sugar, and then simmering. And using the weight as the guide not the measurments. And allowing the fruit as well to create its on pectin and thickness with the use of natural ingredients instead of buying expensive pectin at thestore all of the time. Plus I always wondered why is it so imperative in recipes to have all our fruits come to a rolling boil stirring constantly when all it does is boil the crap out of our food and make it so hot it could burn your skin off. I always hated the tradition process of making jams and it always took the enjoyments out of making jams for me. This is such a more wonderful slower more hands on patient approach of it and its wonderful to see that someone can actually see understand and actually show a different approach that works even more better than boiling and stirring until your qrist falls off. And seeing this video for the first time makes me Absolutely see a giant light bulb 💡 that this exact same process can be used with alot of other fruit to preserve such as this one, like maybe strawberry or raspberry which are such a delicate fruit and break down way too much... slow and low most of the time and keep it a little chunky. I really don't like jams because they are always more like jelly with no texture or substance. BEAUTIFULLY WELL DONE!! I JUST BECAME A SUBSCRIBER!
Thank you. Love your comment ❤
@@lulishomestead6767 you are truly welcome and I am right now watching your video on making that tea with all the herbs such as st John's wort, elderberry leaves and a host more. I would love to know where you got the little metal strainer that fits over top of your teapot that holds the herbs for the tea. I would love to get one of those I have several tea pots like yours and by the way, I absolutely love your mom's beautiful towel you covered the steeping tea with.
Oh my word! Lope Jam? I'm in!!! I bet that there is NOTHING better with homegrown ham and fresh, sourdough biscuits! Girlie! You just warmed this Okie girl's heart! I will be so so so looking forward to July and August!
I love reading your comments!!!
@@lulishomestead6767 Awww...thank you! I'm munching on my Stollen cookies & having a late coffee with hub while we enjoy your channel.
That looks sooo yummy
Thanks. It's sure is!
I looked at most of the cantaloupe jam CZcams videos and by my reconning this is the best. I like the idea of letting it rest that's the Love I will make it this evening so it will be ready in the morning.
Best wishes.
Thanks Luli! I love all your ideas, you are an excellent teacher.🌷👍
Thank you! Enjoy
I just found you tonight . I'm so glad I love listening to you, such a good teacher and easy to listen too. Love your ways. Will be fixing ferments from garden. Made sourkraut but that's all. Can't wait to try this jam! Thanks for sharing. One of my new fav channels now. 😆
Thank you!!! Welcome to the channel 😀
I have loved discovering your channel! Thank you for sharing your ways! Спасибо!
Пожалуйста! Glad you are a part of this community.
Beautiful jam. I'll be making some next year with home grown fruits. Thank you for sharing.
You are welcome
Definitely trying this
👏👏👏
I like cantaloupe and would like to try this recipe.
It's good!
Love your content 🥰
Thanks 😊
Oh my that looks wonderful. I'll have to figure a way to make it sugar free (except for the natural sugar of course) because my husband is diabetic! But I have to try this one way or another. Thanks for sharing!
Have you tried using monk fruit sugar?
Awesome video. Thanks! After you add the sugar to the cantelope does it 6 to 8 hours at room temp?
Yes, correct. But in the hot summer I put it in the cool place.
I love this! I have been wondering what to do with all of the melons I plan to grow. Also, I have heard not to use artificial sweeteners in canning due to increased risk of botulism. This came from a prepper and rebel canner, so I feel like if she won't can it you shouldn't. Lol. Maybe stevia since it is natural. ❤️
I only use cane sugar. Stevia changes taste when cooked, in my opinion. People say monk fruit sugar is good to use, but I never tried. It's too expensive
@@lulishomestead6767 That's good to know! I have never used stevia myself and also use sugar. Thanks for all of your teaching! ❤️
Thank you so much for your video. Your lovely chicken look like need more nutrition I think because they loosing feathers. God bless you Amen
Thanks, we had two roosters that were abusing my girls. Now we are down to one and things are getting better.
@@lulishomestead6767 Thank God and girls are more happy now. This happen in all birds species and I separate them when they fight. God bless you and thank you so much for your beautiful video.
Don't you use pectin? Thanks for your recipe, can't wait to try it. Liked and subbed
No pectin if you use my method
@@lulishomestead6767 Wow, probably going to do it today or sometime next week. Thanks again!
This looks delicious 😋! How long can it be stored for?
& how do u store it? ?
I can it and preserve it by water bath canning process. It stores well for a few years. Most canning books say 2 years, but I just opened a jar from 2018 and it's still perfect!
for less sugar or spenda you can use pamonas universal pectine and you can use honey instead of sugar
Thanks for the tip.
You can add a tablespoon of butter to your jam and the foam will go away and be absorbed back into the jam. Iadd this to all the jams I make that have a lot of foam
Yes, I have heard about it. Interesting idea.
today was my first day canning it was scary to me I did potatoes .. I'm going to try the jams
Canning is like any other skill, takes time. Give yourself some grace. You will do great!
Can I use brown sugar instead of regular sugar?
Thank you for the video 👍👍
Brown sugar is white sugar with molasses. The jam will be much sweeter. I have never used brown sugar for canning.
Do you mean raw sugar? Raw sugar has a slightly brown color to it. Raw sugar would work in this recipe 😋
Thank you.
I grow my own stevia for sweetening
That's great! How do you use it? Please share
I trim down the plant
Then boil it
Strain it and keep it in the fridge
After the canning process, does there need to be a grace period before usage?
It's ready to be eaten anytime!
I love cantaloupe and honey dew but nobody in the house but me will eat them so it doesn't pay to buy them or grow them. Now I have a reason to. Can honey dew be subbed if you don't have cantaloupe??
I think it can be substituted. Let me know how it works out.
Looks great,i am sure that it's good.I will be trying it.
Hi, I tried making a melon jam recently and it crystalized after I canned it. Do you know what the reason could be?
I don't know about every melon jam, but with cantaloupe I let it sit in sugar over night and boil it next day. Boil long enough to see all the froth disappear. Try my method.
Use lemon juice it will not crystal
@@Realatmx Update. I tried the method in this video. Now the jam is fine sealed at room temp but once I put it in the fridge opened it crystalizes. Do melons needs lemons and not lime? I've made a pineapple jam with lime juice in it and it's fine.
can you boil the peels for juice to make jelly
I do not use skins
