The girls & I spent our morning making homemade strawberry jam with my mother in law.
We make it every June & make a year supply of jam for ourselves & to give as gifts!We made over 30 jars this morning.
Tip: Use a few recycled baby food jars to give a small jar of jam (along with homemade scones, etc)There is nothing better than homemade strawberry jam.
I haven't bought store bought jam in over 5 years. Homemade jam is so fresh & sweet.It's perfect on a PB&J, Toast, English Muffin or homemade scones or biscuits!

ReplyDeleteOh YUM! The jam looks fantastic, and those strawberries look incredible, so fresh!
ReplyDeleteOh my. That looks wonderful. So bright and red and pretty too. How fun.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE homemade jam!! What a fun thing to do with the girls!
ReplyDeleteThis is something I want to be able to do some day. My mom makes jam with her raspberries and it's amazing.
ReplyDeleteYummy... thanks for the recipe. My friends parents have a strawberry farm.
ReplyDeleteyummy! i could eat it right off my computer. i think we are going to pick strawberries this weekend...i just might have to try this...did the girls really help a lot? that is what i need to know...since i will have 2 3 year olds helping me!
ReplyDeleteI had my first attempt at jam this year and it was wonderful (I posted about it as well)! Now I have 18 jars of yummy jam (I gave a few away already!). Enjoy your jam.
ReplyDeleteI can't WAIT to make your jam again this year. Everyone I gave a jar to last year RAVED about it. Our neighbor said he poured it over ice cream. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the first year that I made it...we're totally spoiled now! I made jam snobs outta my boys :) Once you have it, there is no way to go back to store bought!
ReplyDeletethis reminds me of the episode of friends where joey eats all of the jam monica makes....remember that? that strawberry jam looks AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteThose strawberries look amazing. And thanks for the tips on taking pictures outside in the sunshine. My photos for the past week have been hideous.
ReplyDeleteOh, this looks so good. I can taste it right on on some cinnamon swirl bread. I love the ideas of the small jars too.

Okay, we're trying your jam recipe today! Alexia and I already tackled washing and de-stemming the strawberries. We'll hopefully finish our first stab at jam once Naiya goes down for her morning nap. Wish us luck!
