From Grandma



I was digging around in the pantry and stumbled across a jar of Strawberry Jam made by the hands of my Grandmother.



The mouth of the jar was sealed with paraffin.



Amazingly the jam is still good! I put a spoon of the sweet treat on top of Vanilla Cheese Cake Pudding.

The date on the lid.... 2012.... made me cry when I realized what it was. Ruby is wheezing and Rosie has been "unsettled" UP & DOWN... IN & OUT... I am awake now ... Rosie is back in ~~~ I have done the guy thing and am ready to go back to bed.

Strawberry anything doesn't last long in this house.

Where was your Grandma's jam hiding?

It got shoved behind some beet pickles. I wanted some pickles for X-mas and there it was! Christmas from Grandma.

The label is worn with time but the jam was very good.
