Flavorful Jam Recipes You're Going To Love

The summer harvest is quickly approaching! In addition to the sunshine, longer days and outdoor adventures, one of our favorite things about the warmer months is all the delicious fruit that comes in season. The flavors are endless, so we've pulled together four tasty jam recipes that you can make at home to celebrate the flavors of summer all year long.

Homemade Mixed Berry Jam

Berry, berry quite contrary, how does your garden grow? It wouldn't be summer without a heaping of berries, which is why we love this blueberry, strawberry and blackberry combination from Suburban Simplicity's Erin. "This Homemade Mixed Berry Jam recipe is so delicious you'll want to put it on everything from pancakes and toast to waffles and ice cream. Or eat it right from the jar!"

Fig and Pear Jam

We love combining our favorite fruits to make fun and tasty new pairings, which is why we included this Fig and Pear Jam in The All New Ball Book of Canning and Preserving, published by Oxmoor House (2016). This flavorful, fall-inspired combination goes great with cheeses, crackers, and even as a topper for your favorite pastry! Find the recipe online here.

Nectarine and Blueberry Jam

For us, one of the most enjoyable parts of cooking, besides the eating, is making minor tweaks to our favorite recipes to create new and exciting variations. That's why we love Noelle from AZ Plant Lady's Nectarine and Blueberry Jam, which is a yummy variation on the Nectarine and Sour Cherry Jam recipe from The All New Ball Book of Canning and Preserving. We promise that this winning combination will be the perfect summertime partner for your morning biscuit or toast.

Melon Jam

If you're on the hunt for the perfect flavor to go with your favorite summer cheese and white wine pairing, then look no further than this Melon Jam. A commonly served treat in France, Melon Jam offers a smooth and sweet flavor that will delight guests at your next soiree! Find the recipe online here or in The All New Ball Book of Canning and Preserving.
