How to Make Strawberry Jam

To make 5 cups of Strawberry Jam.

Ingredients, 1.75 cups prepared strawberries, 2 Tbsp lemon juice 4 cups sugar, 1 pouch Certo liquid.

Step 1. Prepare straberries by hulling and thoroughly crushing them with a potatoe masher (a real potatoe masher, not a german grenade)

Step 2. Measure 1.75 cups of prepared strawberries into a mixing bowl, and add exactly 4 cups of sugar ('they' tried less, but it doesn't work.) Mix well and let stand 10 minutes.

Step 3. Stir in lemon juice and Certo Liquid Fruit Pectin and stir for 3 more minutes.

Step 4. Pour into containers filling up to 1/4 inch from the top. Cover with lids and let stand at room temp until set. (This can take up to 24 hours.) If you plan on eating it within 3 weeks, go ahead and keep it in the fridge.

Step 5. Eat your very own jam. You can just spoon it up, but I recommend eating it on toast or ice cream.

It's totally worth it. You don't even have to cook anything. It will be the best jam you ever ate. Tracie did it perfectly her very first try. That means you'll probably get jam that's edible, but maybe not perfect.


Job Hunt

I applied for 6 more jobs today. Hopefully I get a call back. 4 office jobs with the health region, and 2 jobs from the paper. I hope I can get a job with the health region. I don't want to end up working in a store.
