Lady Marmalade!

Heather and I had the opportunity to make strawberry marmalade (or in the south "jam") with a lady who attends our church...Frou Widmann (Frou=Mrs. in german....it is not her first name). Little did we know the process is relatively easy when you own a "therma-mixer." I had never heard of this contraption and do not think they are very popular in America but in Germany if you have one you are very lucky. They can do all kinds of things from blending, mashing, chopping, boiling, simmering, stewing....and whatever else people do in the kitchen. It was fun to actually make something that turned out good!

The only ingredients in our strawberry marmalade were strawberries and sugar...how can you go wrong with those two?! Heather and I were sneaking a couple strawberries while we removed the tops.

Our fingers turned red from all the berry topping!

Steffi was our fearless translator. Frou Widmann does not speak much English and we have not mastered the German language yet.

More sugar!!!

We of course had to have something to eat the marmalade on so Frou Widmann made a recipe called:

"Baguette auf die schnell"= Bread on the fast!

I kept saying it in German because I thought it was such a funny name for a recipe. Can you see how horrified their faces are that I am holding the bread?!?

The Results!

It was a lot of fun and the jam was delicious!

Enjoy!
