We live in the country already and we have this house that I spend all this time trying to make welcoming and comfy and now we’re going to leave that, do a whole bunch more work to just get through the day, and come back having lost three days of housework time.”.
I picked up a giant cantaloupe from the store a couple of weeks ago for Kennedy, because she loves it, but it ended up being too unripe so she only ate a little piece and then didn’t want anymore.Well, I have to tell you before I get to the recipe, that I absolute hate cantaloupe.
Can’t stand the stuff.But this jam is a whole ‘nother story!.I found myself with 2 giant bowls of perfectly cut cantaloupe chunks and no one to eat them, so I thought I might as well play around with it instead of just composting it in the creek right away.
Instead of standing over a stove for an hour, which I didn’t have time to do, I decided to just toss everything into the crock pot and see if it would work.I was pretty sure it wouldn’t because of the fact that the crock pot needs to stay closed so you don’t get the evaporation and the thickening that you would get on the stove, but clearly it did!
I wouldn’t be writing this whole post just to tell you that it didn’t work because I don’t have time for that either!.
So here’s how it’s done!.These are the “good campers” that I’m always wanting to be like.
They were there for a week and a half.We were being ambitious this year and decided to do 3 nights.
They had this whole camping thing figured out..But.. Their kids had matted hair and sweaters with dirt on them that they wore for three days anyway.
