First Snow Spell/Blessing

Updated about a minute ago
We were blessed this full moon day with the first snow. Remember to gather fresh clean snow from the first snowfall you see of the year to make your renewal water. This water can be used to wash your skin, to renew and refresh your youthful feelings. This is a time of enhancement and beauty as the Earth takes on a fresh new face. You can also use the water to renew a relationship, love or renew commitments to yourself or to others. Use the snow to melt into water, then add the comforts of your heart, be it a spice, stone or flower. I had a rose that was special to me so I added that to the water. The melted snow water then is ready for your spell/wish/blessings. I personally do not believe these can be common spells found around on the internet. They must come from your soul. Ask your heart for guidance and your our own personal words will come to you at the time you need them. Remember to honor the Mother for this gift. When the moon is full place your water in the moon light to fill your desires of your spell. ~BB~

Habanero Peach Jam
recipe barely adapted from The View from Great Island
Yield: (6) 1/2 pint jars

2 lbs diced peaches, about 5 1/2 cups
2 lbs white sugar, about 5 cups
3 habaneros, very finely diced (remove the seeds for less heat)
juice of 1 lemon, about 1/4 cup juice

Combine all ingredients in a large heavy bottomed pot. Stir and let the mixture rest at room temperature for an hour. The peaches will release their juices as the sugar starts to dissolve. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce to medium high to maintain a boiling temperature for about 20-25 minutes. Stir frequently, as the mixture thickens.

The mixture will initially foam constantly, then the foam will reduce as the jam is finishing it's cooking time. Test the jam by dropping a teaspoon's worth onto a plate. When it thickens and doesn't run, it is done. Remove from the heat and pour into sterile jars. Process in a hot water bath and then store in a cool dark place; or store in the refrigerator until ready to use. The jam will keep in the refrigerator for up to a month or alternatively, you can freeze it for up to 6 months. Enjoy!
