Closing the Lid
Now that you have your homemade strawberry jelly canned & stored safely in your kitchen cabinet, you can safely cook your favorite pastry knowing your jam is just waiting to be used!
Forget pastries, if you're like me - grab a slice of bread (or Matzah if in Passover), spoon & start digging.
Put boundaries though...the taste can be addictive, and I don't want you to blame me for putting on extra weight!
