We be Jammin'!

We had fun picking strawberries on Wednesday.  We picked 53 lbs with our friends the Moylon's since we had to get as much as we could before we leave on vacation or all the strawberries will be gone by the time we got back.  We then had fun cleaning the berries and then froze most of them.

 Then we made a batch of Strawberry Jam made with honey, brown sugar and grated apples for a natural pectin.  I had some for breakfast this morning, OH YUMMY!  These ripe from the vine strawberries make all the difference!  For 8 lbs of strawberries I only used 1.5 cups honey and 1.5 cups brown sugar with 2 grated apples and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.  That's it!
