Weekends are usually fun time for me as I enjoy getting up late in the morning, enjoying more time with my family and friends. I’m going out for a movie, some grocery shopping and planning to meet few of my friends today. I made this quick jam yesterday and enjoyed the tangy and sweet combination. I have not used any preservatives and sharing the recipe with you all. Have a great week ahead friends!!
