There I was all set to make plum jam, when I saw a flat of strawberries at farmer's market.
I added a few ripe nectarines too.
And inspired by summer's continuing bounty, I made some new jam jars and even a lid for an old transferware piece.
I saved the stems for the wild birds.
They seemed to enjoy them
After the jam was canned I took a sea break and got there just in time before the fog bank rolled in. It smelled so fresh and briney.
Passed the wild fennel whose stalks I add to my spagetti sauce.
Time to test the jam.
With strawberry tea and scones. The jam is okay. I can taste the lemon and the nectarine adds a nice sharpness.
The red winged blackbirds in the berry bushes are saying fall will visit soon. So I've got a small listing ready.
Wishing you a lovely weekend in your snug house this weekend. I'm now searching for a strawberry jam tart recipie. I think you know why!xx
