A caveat for readers: I skipped all the technical stuff about acid and pectin and whatnot, but if you're going to experiment it's good to know about that stuff. Any cookbook with jam recipes in it will go into plenty of detail about this. Those all sound like great flavours!

Mom's made some really awesome jams over the years besides the normal strawberry, etc. We've done crab apple/quince, mango/orange, plum, etc. My mother in law also made jams from plum tomatoes, watermelon rinds, orange & grapefruit rinds, chopped quince ... she taught me to make those and also the fact that you can make a good jam out of most anything! Now that I've read your post, I think I'll get back into making my own jams again!!!
