LEMON BERRY MERINGUE PIE STEP 1: BLUEBERRY JAM 5 AUGUST 2023
These cornbreads have been easy peasy; it's time for something a little bit more complicated, so I'm planning to make Preppy Kitchen's LEMON BERRY MERINGUE PIE.
	This will be a several-day project, which is fine with me. I purchased John Kanell's book, PREPPY KITCHEN: RECIPES FOR SEASONAL DISHES AND SIMPLE PLEASURES; I've purchased more cookbooks in the past two months (2) than in my previous 74 years (0).
The first ingredient to make is the MICROWAVE BLUEBERRY JAM; I found the least complicated recipe; Neal brought home the blueberries & lemons. Bluebereries are on BOGO, which is always a bonus, in case I make a
[Hand] mixing station . . . Adding all ingredients into a bowl . . . The recipe states to add ALL ingredients, which I did; later in the recipe it states to add vanilla AT THE END. I've change the recipe to reflect that. Mixing the ingredients . . . After first three minutes of nuking . . . . . . I continued nuking in one-minute increments . . . . . altho I can't say it ever got thick[er]. After more than the five minutes recommended, I stopped nuking it, poured it into a container, and refrigerated it. For my purpose, it doesn't really have to set. I can do the crust tomorrow. 6 AUGUST UPDATE It definitely set during the night; had some on breakfast toast . . . I used to have canning jars, but I disposed of those years ago; this airtight plastic container works just as well.
