Jammin’ to the top 10

I was surfing around the net yesterday between blogs I follow, Twitter, and Facebook and I came across a Top 10 list I can truly relate to – The Top Ten Signs of a Bad Cook posted by Chow. Check it out and let me know what you think.  Number three had me laughing out loud, I know people like that!

I promise, if you have this wonderful strawberry jam in your refrigerator, you will show the world that you are not “one of those people”!  And although it takes hours to make, it doesn’t take much effort, if you are planning on being home, just set a timer to go off every 15 minutes, stir, and there isn’t much more to it than that!

Fresh Strawberry Refrigerator Jam

3 pints strawberries, washed, hulled, and quartered
1/2 cup sugar cubes

Place strawberries in a large heavy pan and cook over the absolute lowest heat, stirring every 15 minutes, until it turns to a jam-like in consistency, about 2 – 3 hours.

Add sugar cubes, and stir until dissolved.

Transfer jam to a jar, let cool at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate.

Since this is fresh jam, keep it refrigerated for no more than 2 weeks. But it taste so fresh and wonderful, I’d be shocked if it lasted that long!

Makes about 3 1/2 cups
