Show Thursday, June 14, 2007 OREM TIMES Page 15 xaste Emily Marlowe NORTH COUNTY STAFF I oftentimes wonder if I am spoiled or if I just have a palate that knows great tasting food from mediocre food. One thing you could possibly pos-sibly say I am a little spoiled on would be my jam. I would rather go without jam, than have the store bought variety. I think as adults, we look back and blame our parents for things they did to us to make us the kind of person we grew up to be. I know that my parents have a lot to do with me being a bit spoiled. As far as food went in our home growing up, most everything every-thing was homemade and jam was never an exception. Mom and, yes, even Dad would spend hours cutting strawberries strawber-ries and peeling peaches until what seemed like all hours of the night. We as children were always grateful when we could open the freezer and have fresh jam and fruit (especially on mom's homemade rolls.) As the years have passed by I have found that even though I know I am a bit spoiled, my palate also knows what is delicious. deli-cious. This strawberry jam recipe I will share with you is easy, delicious and will satisfy your family for a whole, year. If it has been many seasons since you have made jam, because be-cause you remember it being too time consuming or simply just too hard, now is the time to grow that strawberry garden gar-den again or simply pick up a fresh batch of fruit at the grocery gro-cery store. This jam will last up to a year in the freezer, and three weeks in the fridge. Remember Remem-ber to seal tightly and mark your jars with a date. Check in next week when I will share a delicious strawberry strawber-ry bread recipe with you that will require strawberry jam as an ingredient. So, set a goal for yourself and make your jam so that you are caught up next week for more batter chatter. Remember, I love to hear your comments, questions, and recipes.
