The Art of Making Strawberry Jam

May 4, 2012 By Julie 10 Comments

When I’m cooking in the kitchen, whether it be a simple dinner or an elaborate dessert, I tend to imagine myself a culinary artist.  As I spin the spatula around the hot pan, questions dance through my mind as to the best way to  paint an edible picture.  What color would go best on this canvas?  Green you say?  Ok then, let’s toss in some spinach.  You’re feeling the need for texture to add a little more interest?  Would cooked brown rice suffice?   I completely understand. the subject’s not spicy enough for you; a pinch of crushed red pepper it is.  With a little give and take, the perfect work of taste-tempting art is almost always achieved.

First off, I want to give a heart felt thank you for all the incredible comments and emails that people sent with regards to Alex.  The fact that you took the time to share your experiences, support and love really touched my heart.  I was especially stirred by the tribute that my friend Julie from Willow Bird Baking did over at her site.  If you haven’t had a chance to stop by and check it out, you should definitely do so.  Her class of 7th graders is one amazing clan of kids.  I had a hard time seeing clearly through all my blubbering and tears, but I know it involved teenage boys dressed in pink and a rainbow tribute from the entire class to Alex.  THIS is why the internet is so incredibly amazing.  People you’ve never even met can lift your spirit and make a difference in your life with the single touch of a button.  Thank you so very much.
