Summer is sailing by and I have been busy, as usual. First, I have a new release of dies coming out next week and so last week I was in Colorado shooting videos. Also, this month, our lovely grandchildren will be visiting us and getting ready for a week of fun and antics takes a lot of planning:-D We're celebrating their birthdays, all at once, since we never get to be with them on their actual date...stay tune, it will be fun.
I've also tried to keep up with my "Jam" making and have over 40 jars of peach, 21 of strawberry, and 12 of Peach/Pineapple on the shelf. I'm behind on doing blueberry, raspberry, or blackberry, but hope to tackle those fruits as well. However, since the Peach Jam was so excellent this year, I decided to go back and make one of Kelly's favorite recipes-
"Kelly's Jam Bars." I've made them before, but using either strawberry or raspberry and thought today I'd try Peach. Kelly made these so many times and you can read the story and recipe. They turned out perfect--Enjoy!
August's apron can certainly be called "Pretty in Pink," one of Kelly's favorite movies. I found the fabrics at one of our local quilt stores, "Wish Upon a Quilt," and fell in love with it. You might guess that Paris is on my
Bucket List! I love the colors and if you'd like to be wearing this apron, make a comment on any of the posts this month and I will send #140 apron off to you.
Can't wait to see the new dies! And these Peach jam Bars look yummy! You are one very talented lady! Beautiful apron too... love the fabrics!
ReplyDeleteMore than 70 jars of jams....You are a super woman, Susan. These jam streusel bars look droolicious!
ReplyDeleteObsessive Compulsive:-D I love to make jam and give a lot away.
DeleteIt has been so hot I wasn't going to heat the house up more with canning. I have to buy the fruit/vegetables so not really cost effective. But now you have me drooling I will call the orchard to see if there are any let! Beautiful apron too!!
ReplyDeleteTrust me, it's hot here too in North Carolina! However, I usually can early in the morning or after dinner when it's cooled down a bit. Gives you a wonderful facial:-D
DeleteI agree with Angie, you are Super Woman, Susan. The bars look so good and I'm glad you mentioned you can use other jams as I have some strawberry that I need to up. Have a great day, dear one. xo ♥
ReplyDeleteCertainly will give these bars a try. This weekend will be peach jam and chutney bubbling away in the kitchen here at the Corner. Your August apron is lovely! I always wear my "Susan" apron when baking and feel you are my good luck charm :-) Have fun with your grand children .... it is always exhausting but so so worth it
ReplyDeleteI used to make Raspberry Jam bars. My family loved them. And OH MY I love your new apron :-)
