French Canadian Tourtiere
Very good. This isn't exactly as I remember my French-Canadian grandmothers making, but it's pretty close. Changes I made: I used 2 lbs of ground pork (no beef), omitted the water (the onions and pork rendered plenty of juice), and brushed an egg wash onto the crust.

Caramel Apple Jam
Not all that great. The flavor was ok -- but as other reviewers have noted, not much caramel flavor and more like apple pie. With all the work involved -- peeling and chopping -- probably not something I'll try again. I also had trouble getting mine to set up, so I just relabeled it "dessert topping".

Sparkling Holiday Jam
Not bad at all -- I halved the recipe as this makes just too much. Next time I'll up the ratio of cranberries to strawberries as I'd like it a bit more tart. Also, an immersion blender saved lots of time by avoiding having to chop up the berries in advance.
