STRAWBERRY FREEZER JAM

Super, super easy freezer jam.  That's all I have to say about that!

Strawberry Freezer Jam

3 cups crushed strawberries
5 cups sugar
1 pkg pectin (I used Sure-Jell)
1 cup water

Rinse and remove stems from strawberries.  Crush with potato masher.  Add sugar to 3 cups crushed berries. Stir.  Let stand 20 minutes.

Dissolve pectin in boiling water - boil for one minute.  Add to berries, and stir for two minutes.

Immediately pour into jars and put in freezer.

Recipe from Granny (Elva Jessen) and Faye Whitfield

Notes:  The mixture isn't hot by the time you get done stirring, so you should be able to put your jars into the freezer right away. 

The jars in this picture are 2 pint jars and several smaller ones. 

WHOPPER CAKE

Whopper cake??  Oh, yeah!  This cake recipe is worth posting.  My daughter sent me this recipe knowing our love for malted milk balls and malts.  The cake is one that is better the second day.  Oh, my!  I need to make it again and soon!  Enjoy!

Whopper Cake

1 milk chocolate cake mix
1 1/2 cups malted milk powder, divided
1 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 8-oz whipped topping (cool whip)
1 cup Whoppers malted milk balls

Preheat oven to 350*.  Grease and flour (or use Baker's Joy spray) 9x13 pan.  Combine cake mix with 3/4 cups malted milk powder.  Add eggs, oil and water.  Stir until combined.  Pour batter into pan.  Bake 38-40 minutes (or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean).  Cool completely before making topping.

 

Topping:

Combine whipped topping with 3/4 cup malted milk powder.  Stir until completely incorporated and no longer grainy.  Spread on top of cooled cake.  Crush 1 cup Whoppers in a ziplock bag with rolling pin or mallet.  Sprinkle on top of cake.

Notes:  The original recipe calls for Chocolate flavored malted milk powder.  I had the original flavor on hand, so that's what I used.  We loved it! 

 

The crushed Whoppers  on top don't "melt" after being refrigerated as some toppings do.
