Have you joined my International 100th Recipe Post Giveaway??? If not, do so now...you only have until July 12 to do so!
When I was a child, I've seen my mother make fruit jam many times, that is guava, mango, banana, sweet potato, and sometimes, strawberry jam (when friends bring us strawberries from Baguio City). It was really awesome watching her turn fruits into yummy jam that I used as sandwich spread, ice cream topping or just plain dessert!
I know that for some, buying fruit jam from the store is a lot easier. But did you know that making it yourself in the comfort of your own home is very rewarding? Not only can you be sure that fresh fruits are used and there's no additives and preservatives in your jam, you can even sweeten it according to your taste! It can also be a fun activity for you and your kids!
