It's more chunky jam than jelly... though I might get another flat of strawberries and I could sieve some to make the clearer jelly... does it matter to you?

Nope, I love any strawberry spread made with real strawberries

I'm with you Ronin!

I don't prefer one over the other, as long as they are made with real fruit. Also, store bought stuff just doesn't compare to homemade.

 

[seabreeze]

oh ok, so I"m not with you

I don't use clear jellies since I use them mostly with PB and much prefer the chunky fruit jams/spreads/preserves

! Nowadays, preserves are basically lumpy jelly IMPO. Not like they used to be

Okay, great! then I'll put you down for 3 half pints... looks like I'll have to make another batch! This is wonderful!

I'm also racing to get more chicken tea cozies and biscuit covers done -- and my sister in NJ got enthused, and she's making potholders! She also made me some wonderful tags for my sale stuff... it's cool to work together, since I don't see her much.

I"m trying to get her to send me a photo, so I can post it.

Now I'm craving strawberry jam on toast

Will anyone there have a shade tent with room for me? I'll only have a card table. I don't know the area, and not sure if there's shade in the park, but I'm realizing I'll get heat stroke if I spend all day without shade, and I don't have a tent. Driving in from Sweet Home, I plan to spend the whole day there, and somehow I doubt it'll be cold and raining.

Thanks!!!

Just had jam on homemade buttermilk biscuits.

The only "downside" of making my own jam is that there's too much of it around!

CathyM, I think you really need to make more jam! I would love like at least five. I have a huge basement/root cellar and buy in bulk, and I have killed all but one of my strawberry plants, and it's more like a twig than a plant at this point. I only have big quart jars at home, so won't be bringing any jars, but I'm sure Rhonda and I would be happy to trade some hatching eggs, if you might be interested? Everyone loves hatching eggs!

If not, I'll pay hard cold cash!

What do you guys think of this for the flyer? I wanted to check with you all before I print any.
