Jam On It

{Blueberries picked for me by a boy in my class}

Every once in a while a gift just truly touches your heart. It makes you remember why things matter and why they are important. It makes you revamp your outlook and refresh your perspective. The right gift can make you feel like anything is possible. Even homemade jam.

I ordered this book ahead of time and was super excited to see it come in the mail. My routine with any cook book is to open it immediately, and begin pinching the pages of all the recipes I plan on trying on my free weekends. I love getting up early to get the ingredients, turn up a little classic music, and make something new and delicious. I'm that girl.

2 1/4 pound berries (your choice)

1 lemon peeled and juiced

2 1/2 cups sugar

Place berries in a bowl with the sugar, 2 tbsp lemon juice and the peel 

stir and refrigerate overnight

The next day remove the peel and place the berries in a large pot and cook over low heat for about an hour. It took mine a bit longer to get the right consistency but it turned out perfect.

Just place a drop on a cold plate and if it holds there you're good to go!!

My entire family loves it and it's all natural <3
