Instructions:

1. Rinse and hull strawberries, cutting large ones in half for even cooking. 
2. Mash them in a pot for a chunky texture, then add sugar and lemon juice. The lemon juice sets the jam by reacting with the pectin. 
3. Boil the mixture, stirring to prevent sticking, then simmer for 20-25 minutes until thickened.
4. Meanwhile, sterilize jars and lids by boiling or in a hot dishwasher cycle. 
5. Ladle the jam into jars, leaving a 1/4 inch of space at the top, and secure the lids. 
6. For a good seal, process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, though you can skip this if you’re not planning to store the jam for a long time. 
7. Let the jars cool, checking the seal by pressing the lid—it shouldn’t pop back. 
8. Store in a cool, dark place for up to a year, refrigerating after opening.

Everything about strawberries is great except the fact that they spoil quickly. If you don’t eat them in a day or two, they will go bad. Luckily, there are some things you can do to keep your strawberries fresh for longer than that.

Don’t Wash Them Right Away

One of the biggest mistakes you can make with your strawberries is to wash them as soon as you bring them home. The moisture will cause them to develop mold and accelerate spoilage.

Wrap Them in a Paper Towel

In order to prevent moisture from other sources, wrap your strawberries in a paper towel or line the box with it. The paper towel will soak in the moisture and keep it away from the strawberries.

Store Them in an Airtight Container

Placing strawberries in an airtight container will prevent them from drying out and keep the outside factors from influencing their shelf life. The container with strawberries should be placed in a fridge. 

Line Them in Rows

Another great way to minimize spoilage is to line strawberries in rows instead of stacking them on top of each other. This way, you’ll prevent mold from one strawberry from transferring to others.

You’ll Pick the Best Ones

We all know how annoying it is when we bring strawberries home from the supermarket only to learn that half of them aren’t good. But when you go strawberry picking, you don’t have to worry about getting “bad” strawberries because you’re only picking ones that you like!

It’ll Make Eating an Adventure

Eating food is so much more than just ensuring our own survival. It’s a historical thing that connects us all. But our modern society makes it so easy for us to access food, making our experience much different than that of our ancestors. By picking strawberries ourselves, you’ll connect yourself more to the way that our great-great-great-grandparents ate food, roaming in the fields and harvesting crops.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp strawberry Nesquik
• 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

How to Make It

1. Mix the two ingredients with a whisk or a hand mixer until you get a pink foamy mixture.
2. Serve over hot or cold milk, whichever you prefer.

In case you’re not that into fruity drinks, you can still make this drink and enjoy it. Instead of strawberry Nesquik, you can use cocoa and sugar and it will get you a delicious chocolatey whipped drink. People quickly got creative and started inventing numerous other versions, like matcha, Nutella, etc. Basically, anything can be turned into a delicious whipped beverage if you’re willing to mix it long enough.

4. Prepare the pecans by cooking them in a skillet together with the butter and brown sugar.
