As promised, Aubrey and I spent a few hours in the kitchen together and made strawberry jam from the berries that were picked at the farm.
{Berries hulled and ready to smash!}
{We took turns smashing the berries to get 5 cups each batch}
{Time to fill those jars!!}
{We had a great time canning jam - and look forward to doing more canning this summer.}
{Our finished product!}
10 cups crushed strawberries...
14 cups of sugar...
1/2 cup lemon juice...
2 whole batches...
2 packets of pectin...
LATER
we made 10 (12 oz) jars of canned strawberry jam!
DELICIOUS!
(now we need to make some bread to go with it)
