Strawberry Freezer Jam

Goose and her friend Marshmallow came over the other day to make some strawberry jam.  Marshmallow wanted to make something special to give to her teachers.  Freezer jam is QUICK, EASY, and DELICIOUS!

For this recipe you will need:

2 cups crushed strawberries (buy 1 qt. fully ripe strawberries)

4 cups  sugar, measured into separate bowl

3/4 cup water

1 box  SURE JELL Fruit Pectin

WASH & RINSEWASH & RINSE 5 (1-cup) plastic containers

and lids with boiling water. We used canning jars because they were being given out as gifts and would be eaten right away.  Dry thoroughly. Stem and crush strawberries thoroughly, 1 cup at a time. Measure exactly 2 cups prepared fruit into large bowl. Stir in sugar. Let stand 10 min., stirring occasionally.

MIX water and pectin in small saucepan. Bring to boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling and stirring 1 min. Add to fruit mixture; stir 3 min. or until sugar is almost dissolved. (A few sugar crystals may remain.)

 

FILL all containers immediately to within 1/2 inch of tops. Wipe off top edges of containers; immediately cover with lids.






Let stand at room temperature 24 hours. Jam is now ready to use. Store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks or in freezer up to 1 year (in plastic containers). Thaw in refrigerator before using. 

ENJOY!!

A Bride Most Begrudging

I am an avid reader and I thank God that he instilled a love of the written word, especially I used to read Dean Koontz and Patricia Cornwell, the Kay Scarpetta series. But I have recently gotten hooked on Christian fiction. I just finished reading "A Bride Most Begrudging" and I absolutely LOVED it! I have the next one, "The Measure of a Lady" on hold at the library and can't wait to get it.

The description of this book was taken from the web-site of the author,
Deeanne Gist.

"Any ship arriving from England means good news for Virginia.

Drew O’Connor isn’t stirred by news of a ship full of brides. Still broken-hearted from the loss of his beloved, he only wants a maid to tend his house and care for his young sister.

What he ends up with is a wife--a feisty red head who claims she is of noble birth, brought to America against her will. She constantly demands to be treated like an equal. She fails at even the simplest housekeeping.

Headstrong and intelligent, tempestuous but captivating, deeply moral but incredibly enticing, Constance turns what was supposed to be a marriage of convenience into something most inconvenient, indeed."

If you like to read Christian fiction, I highly recommend "A Bride Most Begrudging!"
