A New Month

I cannot believe we are already into May. That means June, July, and then August = marriage!!! Whooohooo! I wonder how we will fit everything into the apartment. Hmmm. Time is going by so fast; I think about blog posts, but it seems as if my computer time has decreased.

This weekend strawberries were on sale at Sprouts (one of my favorite grocery stores). Kelby and I bought a bunch; with intentions of making strawberry jamI typically try to make healthy recipes. This one is an exception. I grew up with this jam always available, and it’s my grandmother's recipe. So last night, and tonight, it was time to restock the freezer with a new batch of jam. It is delicious!  My favorite way to eat it is on a spoon, still warm from cooking.

In case you would like to try it, here's the recipe, with pictures.

Strawberry Jam
- strawberries
- sugar

It only takes 2 ingredients! Cut up the strawberries into small pieces. Put into a large saucepan; add equal amounts of sugar as to strawberries. In this picture, I have 8 cups of strawberries, and then 8 cups of sugar. Yes, it seems like a lot of sugar, but it will work in the end, I promise.

Stir, and then cook on medium heat until it comes to a boil. Cook on low until the broth is dark and clear. Cool. Store in fridge or freezer. Wonderful on toast, cheesecake, pp&j, or a spoon!

And now a few artistic pictures :)
