YEARS AGO I ENJOYED PICKING BERRIES AND MAKING HOMEMADE JAMS WITH MY GIRLS WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG...BUT AS LIFE
HAS MADE SOME CHANGES FOR US; FULL SUGAR JAM JUST
WASNT THAT GOOD FOR US....UNTIL I SAW AN EASY
RECIPE TO MAKE A SMALL AMOUNT OF JAM JUST
FOR A "SURPRISE BREAKFAST " TREAT FOR MY HUBBY...
I "TWEAKED" THE RECIPE BY ADDING "SPLENDA" FORTHE SUGAR ; THEN USED ONLY A LARGE LEMON;
1 LB OF STRAWBERRIES AND SOME SMALL JARS...
I BEGAN BY RINSING THE STRAWBERRIES....
I THEN CUT THEM IN HALF... AND JUICED AND ZESTEDA LARGE LEMON......
I THEN COOKED THE LEMON MIXTURE...FOR ABOUT10 MINUTES THEN ADDED THE FRESH STRAWBERRIES
AND COOKED THESE FOR ABOUT 20-30 MINUTES ON LOW..
NEXT I PLACED THEM IN HOT JARS ( I HAD IN A SINK OF VERY HOT WATER) AND SEALED THEM. LATER,
I PLACED THEM IN THE FRIDGE. I ALSO PUT HIS
NAME ON ONE.....
THE NEXT MORNING ....I TOLD HIM I HAD A "SURPRISE" FOR HIM FOR
BREAKFAST AND I PRESENTED THE LITTLE "JAM".....ALONGSIDE TURKEY
SAUSAGE LINKS; AND SOME SCRAMBLED EGGS AND ENGLISH MUFFINS.....
I SAW HIM SMOTHER THOSE "ENGLISH MUFFINS" WITH THE JAM AND HE
TOLD ME A COUPLE OF TIMES " I LOVE IT" I JUST LOVE IT"!!!!.............
LITTLE THINGS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO SAY YOU CARE!!!!!!!!
