In loving memory: Grandma Weisbeck’s Jam Recipes
I continue with some of my Grandma Weisbeck’s recipes, as I celebrate her life.
She passed away yesterday at the age of 101.
She was such an amazing, beautiful, kind and strong person. I am so proud to be her granddaughter.
I love you Grandma!
“GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE!”
This was what greeted me each morning when I stayed with my Grandparents. I would walk down the stairs of the old farmhouse, on the beautiful South Dakota prairie, and into the kitchen, the smell of cut grapefruit and freshly toasted bread in the air.
My Grandpa would be at the kitchen table, to greet me and my sister, eating cereal, grapefruit and toast with my Grandma’s homemade jam on it. These are such precious memories for me, and I’d like to share them with you in the form of two recipes: 1 jam recipe and 1 fruit butter recipe. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have over the years.
GRANDMA WEISBECK’S APRICOT BUTTER
INGREDIENTS:
- 5 pounds apricots
- 3 pounds or 6 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg or 1/4

Welcome to Purple Almond Wellness!
I ’m Tamara Hoerner, MHNE, ROHP/RNCP, founder of Purple Almond Wellness. I am a nutrition consultant and wellness educator. I work with middle-age individuals to help support insomnia, brain health and develop whole body wellness, in order to improve the quality of their mid-life years. Heart and Alzheimer’s diseases run in my family and I struggle with insomnia and weight loss, so I strive to help others with similar conditions. Using only nutrition, I rid my body of seasonal allergies, Psoriatic Arthritis and migraines, as well as cured my insomnia. I know what it takes to use food and whole body wellness, especially in middle age. As a wellness educator and Summa Cum Laude graduate of Hawthorn University, I develop personalized nutrition plans and wellness education sessions, to help clients.
For me, health isn't just about food it's about living a positive, happy, healthy life..
Where food is concerned, I'm all about getting back to the basics, good old fashioned traditional organic, whole food, the kind your great-grandmother used to eat. You'll find no processed foods here. Just good food to heal your whole body.
Stress plays a large part in the physical health of our body. I, therefore, believe in using anything that relieves stress and heals the body, including: mediation, yoga, music, laughter, inspiration and helping others. You'll find all these included in my blog as well.

Tamara…I suspect GRANDMA WEISBECK would love knowing that you are passing on some of her delicious jam recipes. These and probably a few other wonderful lifelong feats are part of our illustrious legacy. She will be missed, but not forgotten, as she lives on in the contributions she’s made to the quality of living to others.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I’ve been on a leave of absence and am currently getting caught up. She was truly amazing, and definitely not forgotten. This was just a small way to remember her.

No worries. I’ve slowed to relax a little from certain things this summer myself. Upon waking this morning, I chuckled & thought…the world has kept on turning in my absence!
