We sometimes steam these sweet potatoes as breakfast but I know it will be too plain for my son, and the look of it just wasn’t as exciting, so I decided to make sweet potato pancakes for him instead, and literally “dress it up” into a bear face to entice him can be a good idea too. 🙂

QUICK & SIMPLE HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY JAM RECIPES – HEALTHY FRUITY GOODNESS

Hi there

Whenever I make strawberry cheesecake, I will make my own strawberry jam, I tried quite a few, marmalade, kiwi fruit with strawberry jam, mixed berries jam etc, because it is so simple, quick and easy, you can also customize it to your sugar level likings.

Quick & Simple Strawberry Jam Recipes

My first experience in making jam was actually when I was still in NZ, my first landlord who is a Kiwi made a batch of marmalade jam, he gave out bottles to all the tenants and I helped him out with all the preparations, it was so much fun and also is such a great way to find out good fuss free recipes 🙂

If you want to make it for your kids, just reduce the sugar, which is way more healthy, you can also make it in large or small batches too. Usually when I make these cheesecake, I will make a little excess on the jam, so that I can keep it for breakfast for the next few mornings.

Quick & Simple Strawberry Jam Recipes

One thing to take note though because all these are free of preservatives, so I recommend you to polish off these jam in a week time, especially when you reduce the sugar amount.
