Jam Fest 2011

This is my fourth year to make strawberry jam. It is a lot of work, but so worth it. This year I picked six buckets. Because the peak of strawberry picking season coincides with the end of the school year, I decided to go by myself instead of trying to work out a time when the kids could go. I felt a bit bad because they do enjoy going, but it was very relaxing going alone.





Here is the finished product minus two jars PK took to co-workers before I got the picture. There are about 50 jars. Many of them will go to the kids' teachers and school staff as end of the year gifts. Some will go to friends who visit and some will be used as hostess gifts when we visit someone. The rest will be enjoyed by the Sweet Baby Rays. Aaron especially loves his peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. In our case, they are peanut butter and jam sandwiches.
