Old Fashioned On Purpose

It’s summertime, and beyond the beautiful weather, it means that all of the amazing fruits are in season. What does in-season fruit mean? Jam of course! While I love to make jam, I’ve always found that most jam and jelly recipes are loaded with added sugar. If you’re anything like me, you want to use as little added sugar as you can. Today I’m going to teach you how to easily create incredible tasting jams with having to overload them with white sugar.

Some key highlights from today's episode:

• Ways to make jam without overloading them with sugar
• The incredible science of pectin
• Why I like to use honey as a sweetener
• Click here for my favorite pectin! https://pomonapectin.com/

I've been sharing homesteading online since 2010, but lately, the online homestead world has started to feel different....
If you spend much time surfing Instagram, you might think you need a historic white farmhouse, period-appropriate clothing, and a magazine-worthy kitchen to live this old-fashioned life. But is the rise of "farmfluencing" actually hurting the movement?
How can we celebrate the beautiful while also embracing the ugly? We're diving into this sticky topic on today's episode!

Welcome to the very first episode of Old Fashioned On Purpose! My name is Jill Winger, and on today's episode I'm thrilled to share with you my very unlikely foray into homesteading. You'll hear why growing up as city kids didn't prevent my husband and I from achieving our goal of owning milk cows, cultivating our own gardens, building our own farm, and so much more. If you've ever had any interest in homesteading, don't miss your chance to peek in on my journey. Before you know it you'll be starting your own!

Some key highlights from today's episode:

• How horses sparked my interest in homesteading
• Purchasing our first property
• How a compost pile sparked our foray into homesteading
• The importance of teaching yourself
