What do you do when you luck into 4 pounds of big, juicy, luscious strawberries and you've already got a freezer full of them?
Make jam, of course!
5 full pint jars and 1 for the frig later and I am one tired puppy. Tomorrow, I'm off to talk to someone about an exciting job opportunity and then I have the rest of the day off. I'm hoping to spend that time stopping by an awesome bakery called WheatFields and then working on some really cute labels for the jam we just made. I'll have pics of those and also the newest addition to the family.
Wish me luck!
Wish me luck!
thanks for stopping by my blog! Strawberry syrup is next for me...thinking around the end of the week after my new jelly strainer gets here on Wed :-)
ReplyDeleteI saw that you were getting one. i've never used one before - is that for getting the seeds and the pulp, I guess?
DeleteOh...that looks absolutely delicious! I must get out and buy some fresh strawberries to do just this! Our strawberries are delicious, but not abundant enough for anything more than a quick snack ;-)
ReplyDeleteSame here. Those are Driscoll strawberries that we're on sale at Hyvee last weekend. such a good price that I couldn't pass them up. Would have been a sin, in fact, I think!
DeleteThis looks so good!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking this up at the Carnival of Home Preserving!
Welcome, Laura! I ran across your hop on the Canned Quilter's blog and thought I would join in. thanks for hosting the hop!
DeleteWell I am glad you found me and came over!
DeleteLove WheatFields. Delish!
ReplyDeleteI snagged some Country French, Sourdough and an eclair from WF. The eclair didn't make it all the way home, I'm ashamed to say. Wow, was it good! Will definitely be going back there when I'm in Lawrence.
Deletegorgeous!! my kiddos love to make jam
ReplyDeleteThose strawberries look so yummy - I can only imagine how good the jam will taste :))
ReplyDeleteI have never made jam but I have all the equipment so maybe I should - I have always wanted to.
Good luck with the job opportunity!!
OMGosh, they're gorgeous! I'll take a jar, please! LoL! =)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the jam -- the strawberries look awesome. Good luck on the job!
