I am contentedly listening to the pop-pop-pop of the lids as they seal even as I type. This is special stuff: not at all too sweet but with that mellow vanilla perfume to soften it. Yum, thank you for the recipe! I got to it later than I meant to, but made up for it with a double batch. :)

I am so excited for you! The event sounds divine, and I am going to make a batch of that jam this week. Sold to an American!

Thanks you guys! =D

First and foremost, Congrats to both of you. True love is hard to find, so when you do find, hang on tight! Second, the colour on that jam is gorgeous!! Looks amazing! All the best to you and your love!

Keep on with the "rockin party" plan and don't get lost in details. Having just come off my own "big gay wedding" two weeks ago, I can tell you the day will fly by and you/your guests won't remember whether or not the napkins were plain white from Wal-Mart or embossed w/ wedding bells.

If your friends are like mine, one lesson learned...don't bother with beer. Champagne, Scotch and vodka (lots and lots of vodka).

Congratulations and have a GREAT time!

ps: thanks for the recipe...was wondering what I was going to do w/ all the leftover cranberries in the freezer.

I've been waiting to see this recipe since I spotted the photos on Flickr, and it looks wonderful. I think I'll make a batch for my sister, who's also getting married in August. Congratulations!

Thanks, Miri, Erina, and sprinkle!

Congratulations on your engagement! I've been reading this blog about an year, and this is my first comment. I planned my wedding a few years back. I really wished I had a wedding planner. It's awesome you have great friends. The home cranberry jam sounds like a great favor.

Just wondering - what qualities does the vanilla bean add to the jam? I love the sweet tart tang of cranberries but I can't imagine how the vanilla complements it. Help!

@Garrett: I think Robinson means more on the side of, traditions that you pass on to your family and kids - not ones you pass from wedding to wedding. ;)

Don't skimp on making your own traditions. I think that one of the greatest things about same sex weddings (other than, you know, being equal in the eyes of the law) is that there is total freedom to make your wedding whatever you want - there are no expectations of what you "have" to do.

burnttoast: Whoops! Added. This is probably the quickest jam you'll ever make as cranberries are all pectin. =)

Good thing your friends are helping, as it sounds like you are overwhelmed, understandably so. Were there supposed to be instructions with the jam? And your second sentence needs a touch up on the descriptor of Kate's wardrobe. The scones were marvelous. I have always disdained scones as hopped up biscuits with junk, but your recipe has forced me to reconsider! thanks
