This past week has been good, it would have been better if it hadn't rained and been overcast every day. I read, knitted, watched dvds, sewed a little, today I topped it off by making a sticky mess in my kitchen. I made Strawberry Jam using Rhonda Jean's recipe, have 5 jars processing in a water bath right now. Was left with half a jar that we sampled on toast, the way my son added jam to our toast I can see the five jars not lasting long.
It took a bit longer to cook than I thought, my fault I was worried about it burning so had it turned down too low.
I usually prefer Raspberry to Strawberry Jam but this was way up there in preferences, I doubt that any store bought jam will ever be right for me now.

well done Cheryl! There is nothing quite like making your own jam. And so good the kids like it too. I noticed below you went to Frou Frou in Springwood. I was there a couple of months ago and wanted to go to that shop. It closed down to move! and I didn't get to look around. My nephew Dan had told me all about it. He's the Springwood Florist. Small world.
