How did I get this recipe?

The first time I saw this recipe, I was captivated by it. It was a warm summer day, and I was wandering through the bustling farmer's market, picking out ripe strawberries and fragrant herbs, when I stumbled upon a tiny old woman selling jars of homemade jam. Her face was weathered and wrinkled, but her eyes sparkled with a mischievous glint as she handed me a small piece of paper with the recipe for Strawberry Jam Pie scrawled on it.

I had always loved baking, but this recipe was unlike anything I had ever seen before. The combination of sweet, tart strawberries and buttery, flaky pie crust seemed almost too good to be true. I knew I had to learn how to make it.

I approached the old woman, who introduced herself as Mrs. Jenkins, and asked her if she would be willing to teach me how to make the pie. She chuckled softly and agreed, inviting me to her cozy little cottage on the outskirts of town the following weekend.

When I arrived at Mrs. Jenkins' cottage, the air was filled with the sweet smell of strawberries and vanilla. She greeted me with a warm smile and ushered me into her kitchen, where we set to work making the pie.

Mrs. Jenkins' hands moved with the precision and grace that only comes from years of practice. She showed me how to hull and slice the strawberries, how to make the perfect pie crust, and how to cook the jam to just the right consistency. As we worked, she shared stories of her own grandmother, who had passed down the recipe to her many years ago.

The hours flew by in a blur of flour and laughter, and before I knew it, the pie was in the oven, filling the kitchen with a mouthwatering aroma. Mrs. Jenkins poured us each a cup of tea and we sat down at her kitchen table, the pie cooling on the windowsill behind us.

As we dug into the pie, the sweet, tangy flavor exploded on my taste buds, sending a wave of nostalgia crashing over me. It was as if every bite contained a piece of Mrs. Jenkins' history, her memories and experiences woven into the very fabric of the pie.

After that day, I made Mrs. Jenkins' Strawberry Jam Pie countless times, each batch better than the last. I shared the recipe with friends and family, who all marveled at its delicious simplicity. And every time I made it, I thought of Mrs. Jenkins and the beautiful bond we had formed over a shared love of baking.

Years passed, and Mrs. Jenkins eventually passed away, but her memory lived on in every slice of Strawberry Jam Pie I made. The recipe had become a beloved tradition in my own family, passed down from generation to generation just as Mrs. Jenkins had passed it down to me.

Now, as I stand in my own kitchen, mixing strawberries and sugar in a pot on the stove, I can't help but smile at the memories that flood back to me. Mrs. Jenkins may be gone, but her spirit lives on in every batch of pie I make. And as I take a bite of the finished product, I can almost hear her voice whispering in my ear, "Just a pinch more sugar, dear, that's the secret to a perfect pie."
