I am torn between:
FROG Jam (fig-raspberry-orange-ginger) which is common in parts of the Carolinas and Georgia - anyone have a good recipe?
or
Hot Pepper Jelly - Is it possible to go to a party in the South without encountering this? It is made from a mix of bell peppers and hot peppers and ranges from very mild to nukular, and from green to yellow to orange to red to the rare multicolor variation. You pour the jelly over a block of cream cheese (tofutti works fine), and scoop it up with seeded crackers (almost always Nabisco Sociables, although homemade would be great). I have a decent recipe for the jelly, but any really good formulae would be welcome.

I also want to make jalapeno jam because it sounds weird and I've never tried it. We'll see if I can get the energy for it.

Has anyone made berry freezer jam that sounds so easy and doesn't require canning? Is this a lame cop out, or is it good?
Goon, Hot Pepper Jelly is so good, especially on toast alongside scrambled tofu.

So I think I'm gonna make 3 or 4 cups of jam which is too much to eat quickly. I've done te whole canning thing before, and it was fun, but I'm too lazy now and gave all my supplies to goodwill. Anyone know if it's safe to follow a basic jam recipe and just store it in the freezer?

Know what's even better, and super easy to boot??
Hot Pepper Garlic Jelly! I absolutely adore it. Spicy, sweet, and tasty!

If I can find the liquid pectin (usually only powder around here) I am going to try this -

I wasn't going to do this week's challenge, but then I realized the cactus in my front yard is dripping with gorgeous prickly pear fruit.
I HAVE to find some way to make that into jam.

Yes, but I wouldn't store it for too too long. Maybe a couple months or so. And of course, if you thaw it and it looks or tastes funny, throw it away.
But you should be ok.

I found the pectin (no problem!) and made this today - it worked perfectly, and tastes great. All my jars sealed with no problem. (I did wear gloves to prep the garlic and hot peppers!) Report here:

I have plenty so if anyone local wants a jar (Redheadtheresa?), hit me up. My camera will be back on Friday night, and I will try to take a photo then. It is so pretty! Thanks, 28 Cooks (and Morgyn, for suggesting the challenge)!

I was thinking of just making strawberry freezer jam and using it as an excuse to finally make biscuits.

Freezer jam is SO good. My mother makes it every year. It keeps a wonderful fresh taste. Julie made it recently:
