Loughbreeze Bay B&B

We are down to our last two jars of Strawberry Jam.  Thank goodness, the season is early this year so we can stock up our freezer.  Making jam is a team effort.  After we buy/pick our strawberries the division of work begins.  I’m the measurer ,squasher,mixer, cooker and jar filler.  My husband is the washer, huller , jar sterilizer and taster.  This system works quite well for us.  Last year, we bought some amazingly tasty berries at Moore’s Farm just off #2 on the way to Cobourg.  They were so delicious.  Our guests appreciate this home made strawberry jam with the freshly baked bread that greets them on their arrival.  Usually this combination is requested for breakfast along with any style of eggs and bacon/sausages.

A few weeks ago, I found myself with a basket of very ripe nectarines.  I decided to make jam with them and was pleased with the result.  In polling our B&B guests, they like the nectarine jam but the strawberry jam still wins out!
