Simple ~ ‘Fresco’ ~ Divine!
I hope you make this succulent Strawberry Jam for your family!
With strawberries entering their
prime…there is no excuse
NOT to whip up this gorgeous
‘Fresco’ Jam. The deep red color….
the mouthwatering fresh taste and did I mention the
aroma of strawberries and citrus bubbling on the stove…
wafting through your halls…
heavenly! My husband and son came home and said,
‘what are you making!’ Don’t tell them its sooo easy! It will be our
little secret.
The jam keeps in the fridge for a week IF it lasts that long!

The Recipe ~
Pick up a few little containers of fresh strawberries,
wash and hull.
Mash them up and
put them in a heavy pot.
Add 1/2 cup of Vanilla Bean sugar,
more if you like it sweet,
the zest of one small orange and a few tablespoons
of freshly squeezed juice.
Simmer away on the stove top for
30 minutes or so until it all
comes together in a thick
gloppy consistency. If this an adults
only jam, go ahead and add a little
Brandy or Grand Marnier!
This Citrus jam is fantastic
on ice cream, slathered on
pork tenderloin then baked in the oven
and of course on toast…
or in my case, brioche!
