I had to take a hiatus from my Strawberry Week posts yesterday because of this state of emergency. We’re having a cookout tomorrow, so the water crisis required some rethinking of the day (we bought a kiddie pool that we can’t fill this weekend). And Adam and I were just beat last night. So, here we go with the next installment! The pictures aren’t that brilliant, but to be fair…with H as my kitchen helper my ability to practice my food photography skills is just gone.
These super easy truffles are fromSweet Designs by Amy Atlas, and I seized my white chocolate the first two batches. This was a sign yesterday that I was just too distracted to finish. I tried again today, and they’re great. I’m serving these tomorrow at our cookout, I can’t wait to post some photos of the treats table I’ve been putting together.

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces, softened
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons strawberry preserves (I used my strawberry jam!)
