Healthy breakfast
The best thing in the morning: a freshly baked bread - spread with a homemade strawberry jam . Wonderfully fruity and creamy tender!
What do we like to snack on in the summer? Fresh strawberries - straight from the shrub into the belly. Or a homemade strawberry jam . Pure or with a hint of vanilla.
And for the very special breakfast experience we crown our strawberry jam with a cream of sweet marshmallows. On the bread, to scones or out of the jar - making jam is easy!
