Strawberry Jam

So despite complaints and whining about my job, working for a large insitution has its perks. One of my favorites is that from April til October we have a mobile Farmers Market every Friday. We have many local farmers and business owners who bring fresh produce, flowers, and baked goods for us to purchase. I have made it a goal to buy our produce from the market when its feasible. So far we have dined on fresh grilled asparagus and yummy corn.

Recently I purchased a HUGE basket of strawberries at an unbeatable price. After a few days of us eating them I realized I was going to have to get creative because we still had ALOT of strawberries. I made yummy strawberry coffee cake, strawberry shortcake and a coworker recommended making freezer jam.


It was remarkably easy and turned out super yummy. We ended up making 12 mini jars of strawberry jam. If you are in the neighborhood, feel free to stop by for a jar!
