If you've already made strawberry jam, here's another idea...make Simple Strawberry Syrup - it's easy! This is great to add to desserts such as cakes, cupcakes and frosting. It's also delicious on top of ice cream and brownie Sundaes!

3 cups diced strawberries
1 cup water
1 cup sugar (white or ½ white and ½ brown)
1 tsp vanilla
Splash of lemon juice (to help preserve color)

Add all ingredients to sauce pan and cook on medium heat for 25 minutes or longer until desired consistency.
If cooked for 25 minutes, it makes a great syrup to add to lemonade or on top of strawberry shortcake. Cook it longer to thicken if you want to add it to cakes and frostings.

My grandmother is in town this weekend making strawberry jam! Our favorite way to make strawberry freezer jam is super simple! It just calls for Pectin (pictured), strawberries, and sugar - no cooking involved. The recipe is written on the pectin container, but we double it and use 3.5 c berries, 1 1/3 c sugar, and 1/4 c of pectin. Just mash, stir, and done!
See ya Sunday! ❤️
