Strawberry Jam....



Anna and I spent a few hours today making Strawberry Jam.... The " non cook " kind.... Anna did the bulk of the work; she is such an intelligent kid... Hard to imagine that I'm her father eh??!
Anna even made biscuits so we could have Strawberry Shortcake...
and then in the end, we ran out of time.... so they took them home and were gonna have Strawberry shortcake tonight ( I hope ! ) ...
anyway, it was fun.. We had to wash the dishes 4 or 5 times while we were working, so we could stay ahead of the mess; and we had to keep cleaning up the over spray from the blender.... It looked like the scene of a crime at one point!

So the jam has to set for 24 hours.... After
that, I'll be breaking out the toast and jam!!

Way cool! I'm glad to see someone else does their shortcake with biscuits. It just isn't right (although it's edible) with sponge cake. It seems that's what the grocery stores push.

Very proud of you ol' guy! Ya done good.

That looks good enough to eat!!!

Another option (instead of toast & jam)is to break out the vanilla ice cream and cover it with the strawberry jam. YUMMY - I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!

Well, done!

I have to make some freezer jam too - we ran out in the middle of last winter :( There's nothing quite like it, huh?
