Strawberry pineapple banana jam

This is my first "stray" recipe, but it came out fabulous.

1 quart fresh or frozen strawberries
1 whole pineapple diced or can of diced pineapple, drained
1 banana
6 c sugar
6 TBS pectin

Combine all ingredients (except pectin) in a pot and cook over low-medium heat constabtly stirring, about 20 minutes, until all ingredients are combined well.  At this point, add in the pectin and bring to a roiling boil for 30 seconds. While doing this, prepare lids and jars, creating a positive, sterile work area. Once the jam is thickening with the spoon test (the gel part should be able to slide down as a goop of gel, not drip.) Be sure to keep checking this part, if you can it too soon,  you have more of an icecream topping. ALSO, Be sure to skim the foam off the top, I always forget to =/ but it still tastes delish! Process via waterbath, 35 min for pints and 45 for quarts ( I recommend pints,  easier to set) remember, sometimes it takes up to 15 days for the jam to officially set.

My two year old loves this jam,  and my hubby who hates jams/jelly even loves it!

Week 2 of the chicks!

Our girls are growing up! The ladies are about 3 weeks old or so and are getting their feathers in :) I think they have doubled In size, atleast, they are beginning to each have their own personalities too :) 

Hey there

Sorry it's been so long since the last post! Gotta get better at this blogging... now that it's spring time, I will have so much more to wrist about! Like our growing farm. We have recently aquired 6 chicks and a rabbit, in addition to our dogter, Lucy, and our two gold fish. So as these little beauties grow up, I'll be posting more and more about them :)
