Betty Crocker, part two

The second Betty Crocker Challenge we finished used a recipe we found online: Minty Strawberry Mango Freezer Jam. It was new to us and sounded like a unique flavor for a jam. First we picked lots and lots of strawberries from our strawberry patch.

Garden strawberries are the best. June is one of our favorite months.

Next we doubled the recipe. It was easier than the banana bread.

After we saw exactly how much we needed for a double batch of jam, we went to the store to get a few more strawberries and several mangoes. It takes a lot of fruit to get four cups of each of strawberries and mangoes.

The recipe was really simple. You pretty much just mix it all together for a few minutes, then spoon it into the jars.

We ended up with 12 half pint jars of jam. And two silly girls.

When both the banana bread and the jam were done, we walked some over to a neighbor's house to share the bounty. If they like it as much as we do then they'll be drooling for a while.
