Strawberry Freezer Jam



The past few weeks strawberries have been at their peak, so my mom and I decided to take advantage and make some strawberry freezer jam. It is SO delicious! I'm bound and determined that I'm taking some with me to Iowa even if I have to pack it in a cooler. It makes the best PB&J (on Grandma Sycamore's White Bread of course) and a couple of spoonfuls added to a glass of lemonade makes the BEST strawberry lemonade! Here's the recipe if you want to try...

For every batch you will need:

4 cups blended fruit (I like mine blended smooth)

1 1/2 cups sugar

1/3 cup Ball instant fruit pectin

Mix the pectin and sugar in a bowl and then add fruit. Whisk for about 3 minutes or until it starts to thicken and the sugar/pectin is dissolved. Then just pour into jars! I love the little plastic ziploc jars. Let it sit for 24 hrs and the put in the freezer. It lasts for up to a year in the freezer (I'm always out of it by then) and 3 weeks in the fridge. This recipe is the best because you don't have to cook it! I also made some raspberry that turned out great too.

Table & Chair Matchup

The dining room is one place people really do their home a disservice.  How? They have a matching dining set, a generic light fixture, and no rug under their table.  Raise your hand if that's you.  Don't worry, you're not alone.  Just by adjusting those 3 things (mix up your chairs, add a fun light fixture, add a rug) you can really revamp your dining room.  Just bought your dining set and can't afford new chairs?  Easy.  Keep your side chairs, but find some upholstered chairs to add as captain's chairs on each end of the table.  It will mix it up just enough! Plus you'll have 2 extra chairs when you have guests over.  Another option is painting your chairs a different color from your table and add some fun cushions or reupholstering the seats.                                             ...
