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. =)

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