Stirring sweetness

Assalamu Aleykum,

After having taken some break from the internet (except for important deals, such as class notes and the the like) I have come to break the silence with some irresistible easy-to-do recipes. WARNING: my recipes don't have set measurements.

Strawberry Jam:

Cut strawberry into four vertical pieces and store in a pot
put some lemon zest (or thin slices of lemon peel)
and finally add some sugar, add as much as you want, just don't over do it

now leave the mixture as is for another 24 hours. No need to add water, as you will see the sugar will melt and the fruit will give-up its juices. After the 24 hour period, you can now put the pot on a stove and heat it at a medium power and let it simmer for a while. After about 10 minutes or so, you can take it off the stove and transfer your jam into a container where you'd see it cool before you enjoy.

Further recipes with this yummy jam can be created, such as a phillo bake in the oven with butter. (I still haven't tried this, but will let you know how that goes) ;)

Are you craving for some irresistible soup? Then make sure you tune in for the next update with one of my favorite recipe: Barley-n-yogurt soup.
