Once we returned home, we decided to whip up some jam, using just three ingredients:
We used extra lemon and created a delicious jam the tastes just like Strawberry Lemonade!
Strawberry Lemonade Jam
4 cups strawberries (about 1 1/2 quarts), stems removed
1/4 cup agave nectar (or 1/2 cup sugar)
1 teaspoon lemon zest
pinch of salt
Remove the stems of the strawberries and mash with a fork:
Add the agave nectar and zest, stir well:
Reserve the lemon juice for another use (try it in your ice tea, perhaps?), then place the lemon halves and your strawberry mixture in a sauce pan (the lemon has natural pectin to help thicken the jam). Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, if desired:
Bring to a boil then simmer for 15-20 minutes, uncovered, or until the jam reduces by about half:
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. I am not a canner, but you could can this too!
Enjoy! The tartness of the lemon really complements the strawberry-agave flavors. We've been enjoying this jam all week, we might need to go back to the farm and get more berries!
Life is sweet,
SPC

Ahhhhh! I cannot wait to try this! I just baked bread today and was wishing for some warm jam. Oh my. I may be baking bread again this week :)
I cannot wait to try this recipe! Delicious!
My husband and I have been having lots of problems living together, he never gives me attention or makes me happy because he has fallen in love with another woman outside our marriage. I tried my best to make sure that my husband leaves this woman but the more I talk to him about it the more he makes me feel sad and unhappy, My marriage started leading to divorce because he no longer gives me attention. I wanted to forget him but i love him and didn't want to lose him. We have been married for years and he is all I could call a true best friend and best in all, the man that handles my problems perfectly, the man that makes sacrifices for ,my happiness. I wanted him back in my life badly and I was so confused. My Friends told me to buy books about relationships, so I went online for relationship books while I came across a spell caster called Dr Emu. I read testimonies and reviews about him so I contacted him immediately, explained my problems to him. Same day , he casted a spell for me and assured me for 2 days that my husband will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my husband came knocking on my door and begged for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married again, he proposed. I wouldn't stop talking about him. Contact him today if you need his help via email: emutemple@gmail.com and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay. Website: https://emutemple.wordpress.com/
