Harvested it, then created delicious jam with it and sent some to me! Thanks Pam. Lucky me!
The mug is one of Anna’s (22 now) early artworks, immortalized in ceramic.
And another friend. GS (we met in book club) gave me the handwoven mat.
I put the pretty card on the tree-
a wish for peace+hope +love
seemed like a wonderful greeting.
My friend Jen gave me a lovely large jar of Bonne Maman jam which was perfect for the Split Second Cookies Recipe.
This morning Jen came over and we had coffee and eggs. I gave her a couple of the jam filled logs wrapped in foil. Apricot and Four Fruit Preserves were the two flavors I used.
After you bake the cookie all at once, when they are cool you slice them.
They are a dense buttery shortbread with the fruit jam in the middle.
Happy mail today. Three jars of wonderful homemade jam made by Pam with the goodness from her Massachusetts garden. Wrapped so carefully, protected perfectly, the mail carrier delivered the unexpected box Friday afternoon. Not a drop spilled. They were well padded- Blubarb, Golden Raspberry and Red Raspberry. Oh my. Which to sample first?
Saturday morning will require some toast and butter. How you make the jam without pectin and just half the sugar sounds amazing! Thank you for the delightful gift. I appreciate your sharing your harvest and culinary skills.
The golden raspberry might be first as I don’t think I’ve ever eaten a golden raspberry.
