Using Herbs

I had never had strawberry freezer jam before a friend introduced me to it a few years ago. It’s delicious and I’m very glad I tried it. I’ve since introduced it to a number of people and the consensus is “Yum!”

Strawberry freezer jam isn’t sickening sweet like some strawberry jams can be and it really tastes more like the fresh fruit. You owe it to yourself to try it once, but I don’t think you’ll find it in any store.

Making strawberry freezer jam is easy.

Here’s the best way to make Strawberry Freezer Jam:

• Buy 2 quarts of strawberries at the local farmer’s stand. You only need one quart for the jam recipe, but who can work with strawberries and not eat some at the same time? One quart for the jam and one quart for you.

Well, if you’re wondering whether dill re-seeds itself, wonder no more.

Last year we had plenty of dill plants in the garden. We used what we liked in salads, with potatoes, and making sauces and vinegars, and of course for dill pickles.

Here’s a couple of photos showing baby dill plants sprouting up from the seeds that dropped last year.

Even though we used a lot of the seed heads for making dill pickles, enough seeds were scattered so that the dill plants reseeded to give us another crop this year. That makes 3-4 years growth from the original dill plants.
