Comments on: My lemon has a name: it’s M-E-Y-E-R http://www.considerthepantry.com/my-lemon-has-a-name-its-m-e-y-e-r/ It is possible to make jam from dreams. Just add fruit and sugar. -Stanislaw Jerzy Lec Mon, 29 Aug 2011 20:06:23 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 By: gen http://www.considerthepantry.com/my-lemon-has-a-name-its-m-e-y-e-r/comment-page-1/#comment-179 gen Fri, 12 Mar 2010 13:10:36 +0000 http://www.considerthepantry.com/?p=1029#comment-179 Hi Sara! OK, so I got four 250 ml (that's half-pint in the US) jars out of this recipe. If the recipe doesn't list how many jars you'll get (I'm bad at doing this!), I usually guesstimate and make sure to prepare (clean and sterilize) more than I think I'll need. Another way of guessing how many jars you'll need is to compare whatever recipe you're using with a few others that use the same approximate amounts of fruit and sugar etc. and see what the jars are for those recipes. I find that, even when the jar yield is listed, it's often not what I end up with. I suppose it depends on what kinds of fruit or veg you're using, their water content, size etc. Anyway, good luck and I look forward to hearing about your results. G Hi Sara!

Oh, no, really? Where do you live? I wonder if you ask your local fruit seller to order some, perhaps they will? Maybe if you promise to buy a lot of them and encourage your friends to as well?
