Have to keep these on the counter tonight to ripen a little more.
Aren't they beautiful? Ya'll know how I feel about strawberries, if you visit here much.
Some on counter with sugar making it's own syrup for freezing
Frozen Strawberry Jam
4 1/2 cups or 2 1/4 lbs of prepared strawberries
To prepare strawberries
Crush fully ripe berries, one layer at a time so that each berry is reduced to pulp
1 box Sure-Jell
7 cups or 3 lbs sugar
Mix Sure-Jell with already prepared strawberries in a sauce pan.
Over high heat, quickly bring the mixture to a hard boil, stirring occasionally.
Add sugar all at once.
Bring to a full rolling boil: boil hard for 1 minute stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and skim off foam.
Stir for 5 minutes and ladle into containers.
(Don't double this recipe)
Leave out until cooled
Place in freezer.
Today I sent Chuck to a Downtown Farmer's Market in Florence. The locals visit the market for pretty and delicious locally grown food.
He brought me this very pretty fruit and produce. Look at these Sugar Snap Peas. Oh my goodness they are so sweet and tender. I left some whole for sauteed and to use in stir fry and shelled some.
Those locally grown red new potatoes I really and and can't wait to eat some of them tonight.
