Take-out Tuesday, Slow Cook Cantaloupe Jam
When I saw this recipe on Pinterest I was so intrigued, I couldn’t wait to try it
It’s so SIMPLE
It’s like MAGIC
It’s like you have a KITCHEN FAIRY!
SHHH! Don’t tell anyone that your slow cooker did all the work
and that all you did was cook the melon and pureé it in your blender
and put it in a jar
with a cute little label
What a lovely way to enjoy your toast or breakfast biscuits~
This has no preservatives, so keep it for a week in your refrigerator or freeze it

Wow – never heard of this Jenna. Is it yummy? What does it taste like? (DUH! probably sweet canataloupe – eh?!) 🙂
Yep!
That would be a new flavor of jam for me:@)
I can’t imagine cantaloupe jam Jenna! Love the idea of using the slow cooker for it 🙂
Wow Jenna, what an easy way to make jam in the summer! I’ve never heard of cantaloupe jam, but how tasty it must be!
Thanks Kitty, it is different! I took the lazy way out and bought cut cantaloupe, but cutting a fresh sweet melon would make it even better~ >
Wow! This sounds wonderful! I have been eating a cantaloupe for breakfast all week, so to have it as a jam sounds so good to me. Thanks for the recipe!
