Hi, you guys!

First, I must confess; I ate THAT entire jar all by myself. I didn’t even bother making toast. I just stuck a spoon in there and went at it…

So it’s Friday and we’re having strawberries! I am having my way with berries this year, ain’t I? I started early, too. Remember that Strawberry Coconut Oatmeal Crunch Pie?? That was waaayyy back in early 2014.

Which reminds me! Do you know that half the year is gone?!? How does that happen so fast?
Remember when we were in high school and the time just would.not.pass? Now, suddenly, just as I’m getting ready to lie about my age, boom! The years just fly.

BUT, life is good! I can’t complain. And if it must go this fast, that’s fine by me as long as I get to live to eternity.
Also? I better find the fountain of youth before I hit 68.

If you recall, last week I shared my grandma’s recipe for Homemade Strawberry Juice and promised to come back this week with her recipe for Homemade Strawberry Jam.

Everything Baba made was simple; fresh ingredients, 2 to 3 seasonings, and LOVE. And everything she fed us was made from scratch, including bread, cheese, juice, jam, etc… Which is probably the reason(s) why I’ve never had a Big Mac, nor am I familiar with places like Wendy’s or White Castle… I was spoiled with homemade, good-for-you food.

Also?? She gave birth to 4 kids in the “comforts” of her own home, without a doctor or nurse. So, practically, she’s a Saint! I’m pretty sure she and Jesus are like *this* up there.

Homemade Strawberry Juice | Made with only 3 ingredients, including fresh strawberries, this is the most delicious and most flavorful juice you will ever have! | #recipes #strawberries

The recipe for our delicious Jam does not differ much from the recipe for Strawberry Juice. The process is the same, but you have a choice of removing the pot from the burner at 30 minutes or at 45 minutes. If you go with the 30 minutes, you can make both, Juice and Jam. If you go with 45 minutes, you are choosing to go with Jam, only. Read the recipe(s), it will make sense, I promise.

Notes

RECIPE SOURCE: DIETHOOD If you want to make the Strawberry Juice at the same time as this Strawberry Jam, squeeze the lemon juice over the strawberries after you've strained out the juice. Then, you can just spoon the strawberries into the prepared jars and pour the Juice into the prepared bottle.
