the night away under the glow of the moon. And from strawberries to peaches to honeydew melon, you can certainly find seasonal fruit that goes with your unique wedding color scheme!<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a recipe for one of my favorite simple summer jams, a strawberry basil jam that\u2019s made in a slow cooker (which means you can throw it on and save time as you run around in your pre-wedding craze).<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ingredients List:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 tsp. lemon juice<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 cup cane sugar<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00bd cup fresh basil, chopped<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Cooking Directions:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place all your ingredients in your slow cooker and stir to combine. Cook on low for about 2 hours. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After 2 hours, stir the jam again, mashing the strawberries with a fork if you\u2019d like it to be smoother.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cook it uncovered for an additional 2 hours until it reaches a thick consistency (it will still be a bit runny, but that\u2019s okay).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let the jam cool and, once it reaches room temperature, store it in your containers (i.e. mini mason jars) and place them in the fridge overnight.

You\u2019ll want them long enough so that some rope can hang at the bottom of your pot and lots of rope can hang above. Also keep in mind the extra length that will be needed for tying knots around the pot.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, bring all pieces of your rope together and tie a knot a few inches from the end of the rope pieces to bundle them all together. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turn your pot upside down, place the knot in the center of its bottom, and divide your strands of rope into groups of two. This will divide your pot into four pieces, like a summer pie!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tie a knot into each of those four groups of two right below the bottom edge of the pot and secure the rope in place with tape. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grab one rope from one set and another rope from the set next to it and tie those ropes into a knot (this is where you\u2019ll start to get the macrame feel). The new knot will rest directly between the two old knots. Repeat this all the way around the pot until you have your next level of knots.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tape them in place to the pot and repeat, creating your third level of knots. Depending on how large your pot is, keep going with this pattern until you reach the top edge of the pot.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turn your pot over and hold your rope ends in your hand. Tie a knot at the top of the rope wherever you\u2019d like it to hang. Make sure that all the ropes are even and that the pot hangs evenly, too. Take off your tape. If you\u2019d like to see what it looks like, use your screw hook to hang it. Or, set it aside as a wedding favor and move on to the next!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note:<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the perfect craft to do with a group of friends or family.
