Take-out Tuesday, Slow Cook Cantaloupe Jam

When I saw this recipe on Pinterest I was so intrigued, I couldn’t wait to try it

It’s so SIMPLE

It’s like MAGIC

It’s like you have a KITCHEN FAIRY!

SHHH! Don’t tell anyone that your slow cooker did all the work

and that all you did was cook the melon and pureé it in your blender

and put it in a jar

with a cute little label

What a lovely way to enjoy your toast or breakfast biscuits~

This has no preservatives, so keep it for a week in your refrigerator or freeze it
