Name: Strawberry-Banana Jam
Ingredients: 4 3/4 c Prepared fruit; (about 2 quarts fully ripe strawberries and 3 fully ripe medium bananas); 3 tb Fresh lemon juice; 6 3/4 c Sugar; 1 Box fruit pectin; 1/2 ts Margarine or butter

How sweet all at once it was for me to be rid of those fruitless joys which I had once feared to lose and was now glad to reject! You drove them from me, You who are the true, the sovereign joy. You drove them from me and took their place, You who are sweeter than all pleasure, though not to flesh and blood, You who outshine all light yet are hidden deeper than any secret in our hearts, You who surpass all honor though not in the eyes of men who see all honor in themselves. At last my mind was free from the gnawing anxieties of ambition and gain, from wallowing in filth and scratching the itching sore of lust. I began to talk to you freely, O Lord my God, my Light, my Wealth, and my Salvation.
