Strawberry Conserve
"When we were in London we had scones with conserve and clotted cream. It was wonderful, and now seeing the amount of sugar in it, I know why :D
Conserves are made from whole fruits, suspended in a thick, sweet syrup, and they do not set firmly. Use them as fillings for summer tarts, spread them on scones with clotted cream or serve with custard or milk puddings as a quick dessert. Raspberries and loganberries can be conserved in the same way.

I love trying new recipes and once a month cooking (though I don't do it as often as I'd like). I am absolutely getting hooked on the tag games!
Thank you to everyone who has tried my recipes, I hope you're liking them as much as my family does!
My favorite magnet is one I got from my MIL that has a bunny hopping around saying I'm to busy to be organized. Story of my life. I have three great kids who are growing up way too fast, I'm not ready for empty nest syndrome. I married a wonderful man in 2009 who took me to Alaska on our honeymoon, It was one of the top two places I've always wanted to visit (not one he really had a desire to go to). Next year he's taking me to the other one he and I both want - Australia. Guess I like places that start with A's.
