Jammin' Out

When we lived in Spokane, WA, a lady at our church named Judy took me under her wing and taught me how to make jam. We went to one of her friends house, picked the berries and made the jam! If you have ever had the home made stuff, you know that it beats the store bought stuff, hands-down! I have made jam through the years, but not in the last few. I was eager to make some, and after having some tonight...I'm so glad I did, and so were the kiddos :)

It's only good when the fruit is picked off the vine; and thanks to my pickers, we had enough to make two batches!
Getting everything prepped
This is how the fruit looks when it's cooking, it smells soooo good
And here's me...at midnight holding one of my beauties :)
Oh yes...I am proud of these!

I don't need to win a jar but I want to say I am proud of you for making that much jam at 1 time and for the fact that you know how. Good thing to have so many helpers in the field! Thankful for the ladies that were able to step in and help you when you were so far away from your mama.
