Jam making is so fun, you can be so creative. I get frozen guava or mango pulp and mix it with strawberries to make a fabulous jam. It's so good I have to hide the jars and ration them out!
We too have to hide jam around here. The kids love it on oatmeal, plain yogurt and of coarse fresh bread.
we are jam hiding people as well!! I finally just took out some of the strawberry rhubarb we made this summer...yummy!
