Sweet Strawberry Jam...

 I put this post up earlier this week...
But thought it would be appropriate for Rednesday as well. hosted by
It's A Very Cherry World!

Freckles and I turned the flat of strawberries from the

other day into sweet Jam over this last weekend. 

The best part for Freckles was the smashing of the berries.

It took a bit of work... But she did it.

  She thought it was hardest to stand over the hot stove

for a long time stirring, so we took turns at the task until the jam finished it's final boil.

Then we canned the jammy goodness into 6, pint jars...

and gave it a nice hot bubbly bath in the pot.

After the jam set we had the most delicious peanut butter

Strawberry jam sandwiches for lunch.

I will never go back to store bought strawberry jam ever...

there is nothing like home canning it yourself. 

The sweet taste is out of this world !

Now I am waiting to glean from our apricot tree. 

Oh yeah!

Hope your having a sweet week!
Happy Rednesday!
