Strawberry Kiwi Jam | Sweet Remedy #BrunchWeek

There is something gratifying about making jam. Carefully selecting, peeling and cutting the fruits is a new ritual for me. Strawberry Kiwi Jam was Joe’s idea. I even let him pick out the strawberries.

I was always afraid to make jam, sometimes I still am. One word comes to mind: Botulism. That stuff is scary! Which is why I am extremely cautious while canning, I’m terrified!

When I’m in the kitchen, I usually have a million things going on at once, 6 pots boiling, trying to chop 4 different things at once, my iPad playing the latest episode of New Girl on Hulu… I get easily distracted. Once I walked away from boiling eggs and had to throw them all in the garbage. It can be really bad sometimes, especially if someone is talking to me.

But when I make jam, I become a different person in the kitchen. I become calm and almost serene. I know how important it is not to miss a step or mess up any details so careful I become.

It is also extremely gratifying to hear the “pings” after removing your jars from the boil. They bring a huge smile to my face—an ear-to-ear grin.
