Ok... I just have to say... this time of year is my fav! Growing up, my parents had a garden and all sorts of stuff that they grew. What they didnt grow, we went to go get. So when I was younger we would go and blueberry pick at a farm, we would also strawberry pick when we didnt have any at the house, we went apple picking, peach picking, etc. You name it, I picked it or we grew it. Rhubarb? Why of course!
This past week I have been strawberry picking twice! They are SO wonderful and juicy and sweet and the perfect color. I also decided to make strawberry jam. It was soooo easy! I got some pointers from Jean and my mom. I had planned on sharing the jam but its almost all gone. I have eaten 3/4 of it. I put it in my cottage cheese, made sandwiches, and ate it out of the container.
I want to make more so I just might later on. Homemade jam has nothing on the store bought mess. I had no idea how amazing homemade jam is. Its SO good, I almost want to make a huge stockpile of it! and did I mention... its so easy to make!
I think my next challenge will be blueberry jam.
