Ham and Tada Salad:
Sofie’s Thoughts: This potato salad was delicious. I usually shy away from potato salads and egg salads because they tend to be heavy on the mayonnaise, but this recipe had the perfect proportions. I have never had potato salad with red peppers, and they were a great touch. This would be a great side at any barbecue and although it was a little time consuming to prepare it was easy and definitely worth the time.
Sassy Strawberry Preserves:
Sofie’s Thoughts: This was my first jam making experience. I thought it came out great, but I do not have anything to compare it to other than store bought jam. My one complaint would be that it came out a little thinner than I had thought it would, but maybe that is my lack of experience. This Sassy Strawberry was delicious on both rice crackers and vanilla ice cream; I enjoyed it so much I was looking for anything in my apartment to put it on! If you are new at jam making like I am, stay on your toes, I found out the hard way that your pot can boil over if you take your eyes off it for even two seconds, and this sugary mixture is no fun to clean up.
