Consumer's How To #44: How To & Make

1. I thoroughly enjoyed all the How To sites listed. The only problem is the amount of information! I could get lost in those sites for days. I think Instructables was my favorite. I will write about it in the next activity.

2. Homemade Jam, the French Way. I saw this link on Instructables for how to make jam and it is so easy I want to try it. It basically just boils down to cooking fruit with some sugar until it gets to the consistency you want. The beauty is...you can even use frozen fruit. How easy is that? And they said that the fruit cooking on the stove makes your house smell like pie, and that, once you make a batch or two, you will not want to buy the jam at the store.

The article also quoted a book I would like to read: Joie de Vivre: Simple French Style for Everyday Living. by Robert Arbor. We don't own it, but I think I will order it on Interlibrary Loan.

Here is the article from Instructables;
