My 82-Year Old Dad's Homemade Strawberry Jam

My 82-year-old dad makes the tastiest homemade strawberry jam, cooked the traditional way over low fire for about 45 minutes.

Using only fresh strawberries, the juice of two limes, and reduced sugar, 1kg of strawberries yields three medium-sized bottles of jam. There are no preservatives, no high-fructose corn syrup, and no artificial ingredients — just simple, natural goodness.

This is the kind of jam I grew up with — patiently made, beautifully balanced, and full of heart. Sometimes, the simplest recipes are the most meaningful.

1kg of strawberries yield 3 bottles of jam.

Strawberries were on sale at Lotus's yesterday. My dad bought 5 punnets.

Tiger Mom's Tiger Fangs Yanked Off :(

My diet for the past 2 days and also today have been bread with MIL's homemade jams along with lots of fruit smoothies. 

I had my tooth extracted yesterday and dang it, it was one of the worst experiences for me.  That is why I am totally paranoid of going to the dentist.  I can still withstand 3 C-section child births but not a procedure in my mouth!
I was a complete nervous wreck yesterday and totally freaked out.

I was gobsmacked when I saw just how long my premolar tooth was when it was yanked off!  I told my girls that this is mummy's tiger fangs! 





Yes I am indeed a tiger mom with tiger fangs too *ROARS*!!

I just lurve the MIL's homemade strawberry jam.  She also made some marmalade jam and nutty bread.  So I don't really mind having bread three times a day for 3 days straight.
