Thanks for your complements Cassie, Mskitty and Richard.
Richard: Do you put pectin to your jam preserves?
If so, where can you buy them?

Here's how my family (father's side) has looked at it for generations:

A preserve is just preserved fruit -- nothing added except some lemon juice as a preservative and perhaps some tapioca or arrowroot powder if you don't want to stir for an extra half-hour to thicken the mixture.

A jam is a sugar-laden treat.

My recipe for preserves is here: Preserving the harvest: heat pasteurization

Cowhide won't help with Kei Apple. Elephans, Boars, and Tigers all give it a wide berth. It is used as a living fence throughout Africa. The fruit is also very tasty. I'm growing mine (male & female) intertwined on a tall and wide flat wire mesh to make the fruit more accessible.

Inspecting the vegetables, I picked one 8-ball zucchini, 4 enormous summer (peter pan) squash, 1 pound of stringless green beans, and one 16-inch diameter pumpkin. See the recipe for Pumpkin Pancakes - Bananas.org
