We are members of a CSA and this year the strawberries have done very well! While it is oh, so tempting to eat them all in one sitting, I remind myself that winter comes every year, and it is really nice to break out a jar of strawberry-something in those cold days. We have been getting several quarts each week, so we have been able to eat them, and can them. I now have Strawberry Vanilla Bean Jam, Strawberry Vanilla Bean Syrup, Strawberry Rhubarb Jam, and Strawberry Maple Syrup sitting in my pantry. Shhhh! Don't tell my brother-in-law. I don't want him to come and raid my stash. At least I know what to get him from now until eternity: JAM!

oooh, I would love to know how to make the mango vanilla bean jam! I made homemade strawberry jam for the first time last year and it truly was wonderful. Want to make sweet pepper jelly this year :)
ReplyDeleteIt is quite nice to see the cupboard stuffed full of your jam!
