You deserve to know.
We have a total of 8 shuttered windows on our house, so doing the rest of them won’t be a huge project and we should be able to show you the whole before and after fairly soon!For now though, let’s focus on the one set on the windows by the deck.
We recently remodeled and stained our deck.You can read all about that and see the full before and after... Here’s our deck with the old green shutters.
We still have a bit of work to do on that area but it really does look a million times better back there..The problem with these shutters is that they’re built right into the siding so they look really really fake.
They look OK from a distance, but they really bugged us.
Also, white houses with dark green shutters are really popular around here and we didn’t want to be “one of the green houses” on our street anymore.. And now here’s how that window looks with new, slightly less fake-looking DIY shutters!.There’s enough natural pectin in the cantaloupe that you don’t even need to run to the store for that and you can just make it with ingredients you probably already have in the house.
It really couldn’t be simpler, but the results taste super fancy!Just go ahead and dump everything into your crock pot and let it cook on high for about three hours.
Next, you’ll probably have some chunks of fruit in there still, so get out a potato masher, or something with similar smooshing capabilities and make your jam into more of a jam-like substance.. It’s hard to tell just from looking at your jam if it’s ready, so you’ll need to test it.Stick a small dish in the freezer for a few minutes and then place a blob of jam on the cold dish.
