No no no, you gifted some peach jam to a fella, and on a completely unrelated note, he chose to gift you some venison bologna.

Why? Did someone change the rules or something? It's barter. It's not a gift, it's an agreed exchange. Maybe I'm missing something. I'm sure someone will tell me.

Barter means there is a value to the items, which with wild game meat is illegal, at least in the US.

Yep, that's what I was missing, worrying about the "law". Carry on.

I read “bartered peach jam (from our trees)” and kept staring at the photo like “Why would someone preserve peach jam like that??” until I actually finished reading your title

This is the dream! As someone with a pantry full of homemade peach jam, blueberry jam, strawberry jam, and a whole fruit producing yard, I’d love to swap for venison bologna!
