Frazz: Half of what's great about toast is the anticipation. I think there's a life lesson in there.
Caulfield: The other half is if it's not great, you can still slather it with butter and jam. There's your lesson.
The only reason to butter it is for the sugar and cinnamon. .As for Jam, RIPE strawberries only need a Tablespoon of sugar to make the pectin set, not as much or more sugar by weight. (Also, also, that much at once not only won’t fit in a canner but won’t gel right! 8 1/2 cups fruit max, and only that for the low to no sugar recipies, otherwise we’re talking 4 cups fruit and 4 of sugar tops.
