Hoe Foolish Can I Be?

I talked to the Birdhouse Lady who gave me the strawberry jam recipe and said the Farmette thought a lb of sugar per lb of strawberry was way too much sugar. To which Birdhouse Lady replied, "oh my god it's cup not pound! do you know how many cups are in a pound? eight!"

I then looked at the recipe as I wrote it down and it says right there, cups. Not pounds. I don't know how I got it wrong like that but I did.

She said I didn't make jam, I made syrup.

I'll have to have some pancakes this weekend.
