tasty tuesday...

my june-bearing

"fragaria"

strawberries

have been good to me

this summer!

~~~

i wanted to

pick enough strawberries

to make jam.

i have been blessed

with enough to make a batch

of jam

and enough to freeze

for a few more batches!

~~~

i made strawberry jam

with my first

big picking

of strawberries!

~~~

strawberry jam

~~~

4c strawberries

4 c sugar

1 pkg pectin

1 t butter

~~~

combine the strawberries and sugar

in a large saucepan.

bring to a rolling boil,

stirring frequently.

add pectin and again,

bring to a rolling boil.

boil for 5 minutes

and remove from heat.

add butter

and stir.

(the butter eliminates much

of the foam

on the top of the jam.)

pour into jars.

~~~

this is the taste of summer...

strawberry jam

on no-knead toasted bread!

~~~

yum, yum, yum!

~~~

summer tastes good!
