As many of know I love Big Picture Classes!! I'm taking Picture Summer right now and today's prompt was "juicy fruit". After exploring the kitchen I only had a very tired looking orange! So, I went to the store to buy fresh fruit.
I came home with strawberries
peaches
cherries and the makings for freezer jam!
It's so easy to make freezer jam!! The instructions are on the insert inside a box of Sure-Jell. It's a little messy, but you do get to nibble while you work!! You just cut up the fruit
mash it
add the sugar.
And yes, it takes quite a bit of sugar!! That's why we like jam...it's sweet!
heat up the Sure-Jell and stir it into the fruit. That's it!!
This is the first year I've tried cherry jam. It really looks so good, such a dark rich color!
Don't they look delicious all ready to eat! I enjoyed today! I love to piddle around the kitchen and make things other than meals, It just seems lately I haven't taken the time! Other things just get in the way! But, today I combined two things I enjoy photography and cooking!!
Yummy! I hope there is some left when we come in a few weeks!!
