Easy Strawberry Jam

If I could only name one thing to love about summer it would have to be all of the fresh fruits and vegetables that are in season.

We got lucky this summer when we visited my parents in Minnesota. We happened to be up at their summer cabin on the first day of strawberry picking at the local strawberry farm. Oh happy day!

We easily picked a bucket full of fresh plump strawberries in about 15 minutes. We excitedly brought them back to the cabin and immediately ate some of that fresh goodness right away!

Then we had to figure out something to do with them so we could transport them home to Texas with us.

I needed something fast and easy that didn’t require keeping them frozen, was messy or couldn’t make it through security at the airport.

I found this super easy strawberry jam recipe from Martha Stewart.

It didn’t take long to turn our yummy strawberries in to this lovely jam.

It’s not as thick as store-bought jam or the kind that takes a lot longer and a lot more work to make, but the taste is delicious.

It turned out the be the perfect way to bring home the taste of fresh strawberries in our checked luggage!
