Satisfying on all counts

Tweet

The other day, when I popped to the shop for a few necessary items, I was tempted to buy some reduced strawberries. They were a bit squishy but I thought they would be fine for jam. When I thought about it afterwards I realised that in fact it wasn’t such a great deal as once I’d picked out the ones that were too far gone, the reduced price only worked out the same as their usual multi-buy offer for pristine fruit – doh! Still, the chickens got the really soggy fruit, so they got a free treat, and the jam turned out delicious, so it was all OK in the end. And just to add to my satisfaction, I was able to put the jam into my special strawberry jars. If I run out and find I need to use those jars with strawberries on the lids for plum jam or marmalade for example, it really irks me! So having the right jam in the right jars was very pleasing.
