About nine years ago I was introduced to freezer strawberry jam. Thanks Mary! Ever since, I have wanted to make some! Each year in Colorado we went to the raspberry farm and loved spending time picking and enjoying the day out. Well, yesterday we got to go to a strawberry patch out at a local orchard. We went with my good friend Kristen and her kids. We picked about 3 flats or about 35 lbs of strawberries.
After we got home we went right to work making jam. We ended up with about 24 pints of regular strawberry jam and 24 pints of freezer jam. The jam turned out very delicious and we still had stawberries leftover to eat and freeze for later. Kristen and I agree that it is much better to work with a friend (more fun, more hands, more help when kids need a hand, and 2 heads are better than one!) We finished about dinner time. What a full and fun day! I have learned one more skill, Yay!

Berry fun!
So fun that you have a blog now, Beckie. Your kids are getting so big. It looks like you are doing well and enjoying your new home. I am looking forward to having this to help us keep in touch.
I would love to come pick some of those strawberries. They look delicious!
