I had a pioneer moment. I made jam. All by myself. (Mostly. The husband did do some pouring and the daughter did do some picking/eating).
I picked the berries.
I washed the berries.
I smashed the berries.
I mixed the berries with the right ingredients and magically turned it into jam.
And I would show you a picture of all that sparkling jam lined up, glittering proudly on my counter tops if my husband would stop giving it away like last year’s fruitcake. It’s really good, I swear. His giving it away means he’s really excited about the taste and wants to share it, right? Not that it’s disgusting and he wants to get it out of the house. Right?

Oh, there you go again twisting the real intent of someones action. He’s giving it away because he is so darn proud of you for making it and he wants everyone to know how really authentic you are. I guess part of your authenticity is that you can put meaning backwards just as you can spell backwards with such speed. So much to love about you.
PS, save a jar for me when I come in November. Where did you get the berries.
HAHAHA!! Looks fun!! Post the recipe
Are those from your garden?
Good for you! I’ve only ever made strawberry jam…once. It turned out really good, but I’ve never made it again. We just moved and have blackberry bushes…I may have to try some blackberry jam next spring!
Visiting from SITS!
My mom always made the most delicious strawberry jam when I was growing up. I totally need to make some myself. And I bet your husband was really proud of you for making such a great tasting jam and that’s why he’s so enthused.
oh yum! that looks so good! homemade jam and homemade bread is the best.
Big congratulations. Nothing taste better than home made jam. Next time make some home made bread and then you will really see the jam fly.
