14 chickens? Bet you have all the eggs you want for baking! I get mine from my co-worker who raises chicken, or from the local farmers market--those gorgeous orange yolks! I love my Zo for jam making. Its especially good for trying out new recipe combinations when you don't want to commit a large amount of ingredients. When I make strawberry jam, I throw in a split vanilla bean, then leave the bean in the jar with the cooked jam. Sometimes add a little pectin for consistency too. Yum.
Yes Margy, we've got eggs that's for sure. My girls love to eat old stale bread from the test kitchen too. :)
I love the idea of the vanilla bean in the jar of jam. I put one in my vanilla bottle, but strawberry vanilla jam would be simply amazing! Thanks for sharing that wonderful idea with all of us. ~ MaryJane
