Description
Strawberry jam is really near to my heart since it was the main produce in Baguio, the place where I lived when I was in the university, this was also the one I usually gave to my grandmother when I visited here back in Manila. I remember I used to snack on this a lot as it’s quite cheap from where I but them, I just need a really hot pandesal and a good spread of this is all it takes to fill my hungry tummy every afternoon.
