Instant Pot Strawberry Jam
Can't wait to try this recipe I found :)
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb strawberries hulled, quartered
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp cornstarch
DIRECTIONS:
Turn the Instant Pot’s Saute function on. Place the strawberries and sugar in the liner and stir until the sugar has dissolved and the strawberries are coated with the strawberry sugary mixture.
Lock the lid in place and cook on Manual HIGH for 1 minute then allow for a 10 minute NPR.
After the 10 minute NPR, release the rest of the pressure manually.
Remove 1/4 cup of liquid and thoroughly mix in the cornstarch to make a cornstarch slurry.
Turn the Saute function back on and add the slurry to the pot. Using a whisk, mash and stir the strawberries.
Saute for 3-5 minutes or until you’ve reached desired consistency. If after 5 minutes it still isn’t as thick as you’d like, you can add a little extra cornstarch. Remember that the jam will thicken as it cools!
Cool completely and then transfer to a jar and refrigerate! This jam will stay fresh refrigerated for 1 week!

Let sit for 1 minute. In a large bowl, break the Symphony bars into chunks.

4 eggs

Reserve 1/2 cup raspberries and 1 t lemon zest for later use.

Ranch Chicken Enchiladas
One of my favorite recipes :)
INGREDIENTS:
3-4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 package chicken taco seasoning
1 package ranch dry salad dressing
½ cup bottled ranch
½ cup salsa
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can chicken broth
1 package white flour tortillas
DIRECTIONS:
Cook and shred the chicken. I cooked mine in the slow cooker with the ranch packet and taco seasoning packages in the chicken broth. The chicken just peeled apart. I cooked it on low for about 3-4 hours.
Mix the ½ cup of ranch and ½ salsa in a bowl. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and spread a very thin layer of the mixture on the bottom.
Start assembling the enchiladas by putting 2 Tbs of the ranch and salsa mixture on the bottom of tortilla. Then put the shredded chicken on top of that. Sprinkle with cheese and roll it up.
Line up the enchiladas in the 9x13 pan and sprinkle heavily with the cheddar cheese.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and enchiladas are heated through.
