With berry picking season underway it is time to think about berry recipes. I love to make all kinds of strawberry desserts and baked goods, but, above all, I like to make jam. I always make a few half-pints of plain jam, then make some other ones with flavors like strawberry-lavender or strawberry-orange. There are so many delicious combinations. If you are new to jam making, or just want to make a small batch, try this easy skillet method. It works like a charm and is easier than getting out the heavy jam pot. Once you get comfortable with this strawberry skillet jam recipe you can start adding flavors like a split vanilla bean or some citrus zest. Just remember to have fun and preserve the flavor of the season!
