I finally made the tomato jam that I posted here. I was surprised as it doesn't really taste like tomatoes, more like peach or apple pie jam. Thinking of maybe trying it with the low sugar pectin or infusing some hot pepper flavor into it.

Barb I guess it is.
It is made in Abbeville LA this and the surrounding area is the home place of some of my best friends now and in the past.
Also one of the few places at the time sugar cane could be grown in the US.
Many of which worked in the Tabasco Pepper sauce plant right down the road.
Others on the sugar cane plantations.

Even in the Marines we stuck together and distanced ourselves from other people sometimes.
Mostly because we got made fun of for our dress and our ways.
It is very complicated.
