[Northkeep] Facing the demon... JAM!

[Stephanie Drake]

I gave my Father in law and his wife some strawberry syrup one year as part 
of their christmas present and his wife was all over me for the recipe, they 
liked it so much.  So I had to come clean and tell her that it was 
strawberry jam that had not set up.  So your non-set jam would probably be 
really good, warmed up and served over ice cream................or 
waffles...........
