When I was a little girl, I thought it would be so fun to grow up and spend all day in the kitchen, canning things and kneading bread and making pies from scratch. I wanted to go down into my little cellar and see my all my shelves of canned things. (Maybe I read too many Amish stories.) Well here I am, grown up with my own kitchen and without a cellar. I have never canned anything, I've only made bread twice, and I don't really like making pies. I usually spend my time in the kitchen making dinner or baking something simple, but I still do like the
idea of making something to line the shelves of my imaginary cellar. So on Friday I decided to make jam! I used
this recipe, and it was so easy! It really is delicious, and I might make another batch so that we have enough to give away and to last us a while.
yummm, ive never tried this. it does look simple. thanks for sharing that recipe i might have to give it a try. even though as simple as it looks im scared bc i always mess anything i try to cook up haha
