I rinsed my 3 for $5 berries first. They look pretty good for such a great deal, right?
Then I cut those green tops of and halved them and plopped them in a sauce pan.
I put in about half a cup of sugar. I didn't want it too sweet.
Then I let it boil for about 15-20 minutes. I've never really made jam-ish type stuff, so I'm not completely sure how long I should have cooked it. It never really "jammed" up.
Transfered it to a dish and put it in the fridge overnight.
I made the biscuits the next morning, to try and let them be kind of warm when we got to the party.
I just used regular ol' biscuits from the store. I was going to make scones, but I had never made them before and didn't have time and blah blah blah.
I flattened them a bit in my hand and used the smallest heart cutter I had.
Look at them all cute and ready to go into the oven!
Oops! I accidentally let the bottoms of one sheet get a little too brown. I wouldn't say burnt...not really.
I made it to the party on time, with my food & Baby's valentines. It was a lot of fun! And the strawberry jam was pretty good!
