FROZEN RASPBERRY / STRAWBERRY FREEZER JAM


Pam Olsen, Recipe #2

Make the recipe according to the Sure Jell package. I used Less Sugar Sure Jell, which cuts the sugar in half. And it still tastes great.

Mix 1 part Strawberries with 2 parts Raspberries.
Chop (pulse for best results) the Strawberries in a blender, DO NOT PUREE.
Mash Raspberries with a potato masher.
According to the directions, cook the Sure Jell, sugar and water. This boiled mixture allows the fruit to blend well. Much better than Certo.


PAM'S EASY OMLET


Pam Olsen, Recipe #1

Three small eggs or two large eggs
Diced black forest ham
Diced pepper jack cheese
Diced green peppers
Diced tomatoes

Mix eggs well and add dash of salt and pepper to taste.
Pour vegetable oil in frying pan and heat.
Pour eggs into pan and cook until bottom has browned.
Pour ham, cheese and peppers into frying pan.

Cook until done, fold in half and add tomatoes on top.

This is a very simple omlet, you can add hot peppers, onions, more cheese, mushrooms and other ingredients if you wish.

Note: I used frozen peppers and tomatoes.
I cleaned and quartered peppers and tomatoes from my garden last year, put them in plastic containers and froze them.
They are great in salsa and omlets.
They maintain great flavor even after freezing.
