NO PECTIN STRAWBERRY JAM

Combine in a saucepan, bring to a boil and boil TWO minutes.
4 c. crushed fruit
2 T. apple cider vinegar
Then add:

4 c. sugar
Stir and bring to a boil. Boil TEN minutes
Put into hot jars that have been prepared for canning. Fill to within ½ inch of the top. Put hot lids on clean jar surface. Screw on rings. Turn jars upside down for 15 minutes and then turn them right side up again. If a jar does not seal by morning, use it first.


I found this recipe on facebook, and I wanted to document it so I can try it someday when we have lots of strawberries again, like this last spring! Mmm! (Melissa Howlett's fb page.)

Davidson's Sticky Popcorn

Put 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar in a glass dish and microwave for two minutes.  Stir in 1 cup mini marshmallows. Microwave for one minute. Stir again. Pour mixture over 2 quarts (or 2 bags) popcorn in a large bowl and mix in 2 more cups mini marshmallows.

Yum!!

(Brianna Davidson submitted this as her favorite FHE treat at least ten years ago! It was a quick favorite, even for this person who doesn't like caramel corn!)
