The summers gone but I still managed to get enough to make
some jam for my eldest (married) granddaughter who
just loves the stuff
all cut up
and bubbling in the pot
and the finished product, two and a half kilos of strawberries
make six and a half jars
(I know one is already missing, G-d loves it with her yoghurt)
sometimes I think I'm a little crazy, the jam I make works
out at being a little more expensive than the best quality
bought version
but then, mine only contains organic strawberries and sugar
time for elevenses, strawberry jam on toast with a
glass of milk, yummm . . .

Oh, YUM indeed!!! I'm ready for some of that right now!! Fun post for the day, Arija!! Hope your week is off to a great start!! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYum indeed. And your insanity is shared. My tomato chutney costs more than any I have ever bought - but the taste leaves it for dead. And I am sure that is also true of your strawberry jam. I am not a big fan of jam but have a recipe for raspberry jam which, if ever I have a surplus of the divine berry, I will try.
ReplyDeleteOK,now I am seriously wanting some fresh strawberry jam. This looks so good,I can almost taste it.
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful! We are just now coming into strawberry season here and I'm looking forward to making some jam too, YUM
ReplyDeleteoh, yum...
ReplyDeleteOh, I was saying on another blog today that you don't make strawberry jam from scratch because its less expensive. You do it because its better and worth every cent. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteHow very delicious.
ReplyDeleteBliss! We make bug batches of jam once every two years!!

ReplyDeleteOh course the homemade jam will be better than the bought variety, Arija. It looks yummy. Have a great day, dear friend, Jo xxx
ReplyDeleteOh, I can all but taste the wonderful goodness, that jam looks wonderful...what a sweetheart you are to have prepared it for giving away...Hugs~
ReplyDeletemmmmmmm; looks so good and I know it tastes great!
ReplyDeleteLots of jam gets made here too - six different kinds last year, and it's delicious in the middle of winter.
ReplyDeleteOh that looks so good and brings back lovely memories. I am sure it tastes wayyy better than any you could buy. It's that added ingredient (love)!
ReplyDeleteThere is not a single bought jam in the world that tastes as good as home made!
ReplyDeleteand yours is made with love - which makes all the difference
