It’s strawberry jam time!

I wait all year for strawberry season. So much so that I meticulously plan out my jam-eating throughout the year so the frozen jars last until I pick again. And the time has finally come; as long as the rain stops for a few hours tomorrow, I’ll have my hands in the strawberry patch. In preparation, I’ve been browsing the blogosphere for other jam posts. Here are a few of my favorites:

I just love the fabric tied with ribbons and the decorative labels. These would make great gifts or party favors.
I’m salivating over the idea of strawberries and good cheese. Yum.
Mixing strawberry jam into buttercream frosting? What an innovative, tasty idea! I’ll have to remember this for next time I make cupcakes!

I’ve heard of strawberry-rhubarb pie, but here is another variation of the classic combo.

I am Julia, an editor for The Erickson Tribune with a passion for food, photographs, and turning large recipes into single servings. People who live or at least eat alone tend to cook less because most recipes serve four to eight people, not one. And most ingredients are scaled for those recipes, so waste seems inevitable. This blog is my way of bringing easy, delicious, healthy single serving dishes to those who cook for themselves. You don’t have to be a chef; here you’ll find tips and recipes that make cooking for one enjoyable and satisfying. Please send me your requests for recipe makeovers to be featured on my blog. You can post them or send them to julia.boyle@erickson.com Bon appetit!
