Jamming out

So since I work as a caterer I find myself with a lot of down time. Like today. Now it's the day before my favorite holliday, and I've found myself lost in a wonderful world of pickling, jamming, and rocking out to loud music. I ended up with more produce than I though immaginalbe for our little fridge for 5 people. Today I give you the best of my creations, the blood orange, strawberry whiskey marmalade!

THE FOOD

6 blood oranges, zested, peeled and sectioned
6 oz strawberries, sliced
1 c water
2 c sugar
1/2 c Bourbon Whiskey

equipment-
tongs
dry clean towel
canning jar
large deep pot

The jam itself was easy, merely addin all the ingredients to a pot and cooking on a medium low heat until thick and saucy, roughly 2 hours. Also incorperating a thc tincture would be easy, merely adding the desired ammount at the end. To make sure it lasts I am going to jar it. You do this by bringing water to a boil and submerging the canning jar, lid and rim in the water for at least 5 minutes. Then carefully remove the jar, being sure not to touch the inside or rim of the jar. Fill within a 1/2 inch of the top of the jar, screw on the lid as tightly as possible, then store in the fridge upside down. Wait until it is chilled then store at room temp.
