It's berry season and that means jam making time!! Making jam is so easy and it tastes so much better than that store bought kind. Matter of fact, it's so easy - this year my husband made two batches of strawberry jam - I was away for 6 weeks - he didn't want to miss out on strawberry jam - so he just decided to do it himself - our son's girlfriend picked him a basket of berries, then he was ready to start jam making - it turned out just perfect!! I think that is pretty impressive - he did a great job!!
Last week I went picking raspberries - this is only the second year I've made raspberry and I think it might be our new favorite!! It's just so fresh and good!!
I've been out picking blueberries this week - in preparation for the blueberry jam

The finished product!
I would really like to try peach jam but it seems like you would have to buy a lot of peaches for a batch, the peaches I've had so far are so small...
I like to have a good stock of jam on hand to share and give out at Christmas - who doesn't like to get something homemade that tastes just so delicious?
