If you'd have told me 15 years ago that I'd love nothing more than to have spent a sunny, summer afternoon making...

Blueberry preserves


and

Strawberry preserves


I'd have called you crazy.



I'm amazed myself at how much enjoyment I get from hulling, crushing, cooking and canning berries. I'm really enjoying my toast & jam in the mornings, too. =)

    Looks so good. What a delicious habit to have.

    I agree - there are some things I'm doing now that my 20 y.o. self would never have thought of.

    Those look so yummy! Homemade Jam is so much better than the stuff from the store.

    Oh heavens--that is so yummy looking. Even though it's in the jar. I wish I knew how to do that. I'll add it to my list!
