Honey sweetened preserves made without the use of added pectin allows the texture and "temperament" of each fruit to shine through, yielding a range from soft to firm preserves. V Smiley Preserves are made in wide copper jam pans from hand cut fruit. One pot of jam produces 6-10 jars of preserves and some batches take up to 3 days to produce! Each finished jar of preserves contains about 1 lb. of fruit!
