After the birth of my first son, a little over 15 years ago, I became a desperate housewife. I was desperate just to find a home based job to supplement my husband’s income. I spent so much time, so many hours, so much money buying into scams online and I almost gave up my search. However, that little voice within said, “Keep on searching Vernette. You will find.” And you bet I did. My first job was that of an independent contractor working for Fortune 500 companies as a customer service representative.
Since then, over the past 15 years, I’ve dabbled with so many home based opportunities…some great and some undesirable. There is an abundance of online opportunities out there. You just have to know where to find them, and how to position yourself to obtain them. Remember there are millions of people with the desire to work from home that you have to compete with. So it is very important that you stand out above the crowd. I have mastered what I call the, “Work at home” dilemma, and I share a boatload of my experience, tips, and strategies to earning a living from home in as little as 24 – 48 hours from now…I’m talking steady income from almost anywhere in the world.

My hubby loves to make GUAVA JAM. As you can see, the clear winner of the two jams in the picture. The guava jam he made (pictures left) is being quickly devoured, while the grape jelly that was shipped in a barrel from the US is hardly being eaten by our boys. It was one of our “Stuff Hits The Fan” stored items. You too can make your own fruit jam/jelly and avoid the chemicals (HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, CORN SYRUP, FRUIT PECTIN, CITRIC ACID, SODIUM CITRATE). If you don’t have the time to make your own jam (see recipe below), then I highly recommend that you purchase jams and jellies for your children that do not contain chemicals. Jams like this:
You can make jam with almost any of your favorite ripe fruits. He has given away so many jars of this jam and everyone loves it. It’s the cinnamon and lime (optional) that he adds to the pot that makes the big difference in taste. Here’s how my hubby makes the Guava jam:
My Hubby’s Chemical-Free Guava Jam Recipe
Ingredients:
1. About five cups of ripe guavas.
2. Abuout 3 cups of water
3. 3 cups of organic brown sugar or sugar in the raw
4. Add cinnamon sticks but remove after 30 minutes of boiling (Optional)
5. Add a tablespoon of fresh lime juice after 45 minutes of boiling (Optional)
Instructions:
1. Thoroughly wash guavas. Slice up guavas into small pieces, with the skin and put in the blender (vitamix). Add enough water to make a puree. 2. 2. Blend on the lowest speed to avoid crushing the seeds
3. Strain to remove the seeds
4. Boil strained puree mixed with 3 cups of sugar
5. Leave pot open and stir often
6. Keep stirring until thickens
It usually takes about an hour and a half to thicken. Once it starts to thicken to like a porridge consistency, it would be ready. allow it to cool. It would thicken more once cooled.
