My jam making history is an old one! In 2011 I appeared on the show Come Dine With Me Canada that actually taped in 2010 – my new friend Graham gave us each a jar of Blackcurrant jam to take home. I couldn’t help but notice that I had the same berry bush that he had. A year or so I saw the fruit but had no idea that they were blackcurrants! That year, I rallied the troupes aka my Mom and make jam for the first time.

It was such a hit that I had to rally more help over the years! This year, I decided to make a video and document the process for you all to enjoy!
