Jams and Jellies

My first attempt at canning resulted in strawberry jam and grape jelly. My sons weren’t as interested in the process until they were licking the foam I scooped off the top of the strawberry jam, but my daughters loved helping. I think they may have eaten as many strawberries as we used for the jam.

I never realized how hapy some little pings could make me as when the jars started making that sound, signifying that they were indeed sealing.
