Making our jam

Since I can remember, My family has always had homemade jam. It tastes the best. I have early memories of all the stirring involved. Even some not to clear memories of picking the strawberries at a farm. I am glad to pass this on to my kids. It is so easy and fun to do.
My kids are all very good pickers. It does not take us long to pick 2 flats. Our favorite place to go for this in Berry Patch Farms.
After the picking we get to stick around for other fun. They always go over and say hi to the live stock.
I am told this pig is called Bacon Bits. He is HUGE!
Abe wanted me to show a little of how we do it. It is very simple like I said
It would be nice if we had a family secret. But we don't my mom always follows the direction in the box of sure-jell. It's the best. WHy change it?

2 flats of strawberries gave us a lot of jam. Enough for just over a year. Depending on how much we use it.
