A Jam’in experience

I can’t believe I didn’t get right on this last night…  I made homemade strawberry jam for the FIRST TIME yesterday.  It was a HUGE process, a HUGE mess, a HUGE expense, etc.  It tastes very good and we had fun making it but here is what we bought and used about 100 jars (Jill [...]
