strawberry jam

The other day, I went strawberry picking with gina marie and chloe elizabeth (of Greetings from the Chaise Lounge) and we got some delicious, although slightly waterlogged, strawberries.

It has been raining a lot here. The raining means that the strawberries are not as sweet as they could be, and go bad fast. The solution?

Make jam. and spread it on toast. (farmshare bread toast.)

to make the jam: take the tops off the strawberries. but them in a saucepan. add a tiny bit of water from your emptied wineglass and a healthy helping of sugar. turn the heat on low. stir. when they're a little soft, use the handblender to puree - defending yourself from strawberry stains with a pot lid. continue to heat and occasionally add a little sugar until it's a little darker and has a nice consistency. pour into tupperware and refrigerate



Let gina marie lick the pot.


Put on toast for breakfast.
