Jam wanted!

I love when someone I don't know emails requesting a jam flavor - so now I have to make more Plum Valencia jam for this person. I am thinking of changing the name to Harvest Plum but unsure - I must do a survey but who to ask....I love this time of year when all the new fruits start creeping into the markets. And I love the magic of turning them into a neat beautiful jar of jam - I think of this process as a kind of alchemy - I think life can be managed this way or maybe an illusion? Make everything look good and it feels good? How shallow, trivial and true at the same time. Still thinking of Crete. I was reminded of Milea the tiny mountain village on Crete - fragrant, simple and beautiful. I could make great jam there....
