Jam Day


I had as much fun taking this picture as I had making my jam. Wal-mart had strawberries on a good sale and I knew they would be the last of the season. So I got all the pectin I would need and some peaches and raspberries and made a day of it. 5 boxes of pectin later I have 24 jars of jam plus 2 1/2 containers of freezer jam- pretty good for not having made it in 3 years. That should last us a while as long as the rate of consumption goes down soon. I love homemade jam. Fresh fruit is my favorite part of summer! We had some extra strawberries and Jon said they were almost as good as the Oregon berries he grew up on. Awesome!
