Strawberry Honey Jam

I would guess that most people like peanut butter!  We love to eat peanut butter sandwiches and usually eat them for lunch on the weekends (on our homemade whole wheat bread of course!).   Sometimes I make a peanut butter and banana sandwich.  Other times I make a peanut butter and grape sandwich and then there's always peanut butter and raisin sandwiches too!  And we can't forget the classic, PB&J!!  Jams and jellies are so yummy, but you have to be careful that your preferred jam/jelly isn't full of sugar and other unnecessary ingredients.   Below is an easy and delicious recipe for strawberry jam.  The recipe below makes a lot of jam, so I scaled it down and made 1/3 of the recipe.  Also, I used frozen strawberries to save money.  This was fun to make and much better for you than most of those other jams and jellies out there!  

Before I let you go, don't forget to check the ingredients label for your peanut butter.  It's amazing the long list of unnecessary ingredients added to a food that should be very basic.  The peanut butter that we really like has two ingredients: peanuts and less than 1% salt.  

Remember, delicious and healthy eating can be easy, filling and fun!
