"Count Your Blessings, Name Them One by One"

First, it was Mrs. Ruby who absolutely tugged on our hearts, then the Lord decided that Mrs. Janice would have her chance to love on us, too! :)

Mrs. Janice is from Pennsylvania, but likes to 'winter' here in sunny Florida.  She asked us if we would like to make "Easy Freezer Jam," so I said, "Of course!"  (if the word, "easy" is in the title of the recipe, then I KNOW it's for me!)  :)


We arrived at her Rv, with all the bowls, sugar, knives and paper towels ready for the big project.  All we had to do was bring our strawberries.  Since we picked only 30 pounds of strawberries a couple of days ago, this was NOT a problem!


The kids sliced up a quart of freshly picked strawberries.

Mrs. Janice showed us how to mash them, first.



Of course, Parker couldn't wait to do this job!



 Then we stirred in all 4 cups of sugar.  YUMMY!



She poured in all the smashed-sugary-strawberries into the containers. (She also mixed in the Sure-Jel into the bowl, once it had boiled for a minute)



It WAS easy!  I can SOOO do this! :)  You can too, because the recipe is inside the Sure-Jel box!  There are all kinds of jams to make, and it doesn't require all those expensive pots and pans, clamps and jars!  Just reuse your old sour cream or cream cheese containers.  WHOO HOO!


Thank you Mrs. Janice for taking the time to show this girl (and kids) some new tricks!  You are so sweet, and we are so thankful to have met you and Mr. Mike. :)


Blessings,
Steph
