Jammin'

I love to do canning in the summer. There is something very satisfying about knowing that come winter, you can enjoy summer in a jar :o). My favorite way to capture summer is to make jams and jellies.

Last week, I made strawberry jam, strawberry rhubarb jam, and mulberry jam. I love the deep shades of red richness in the clear glass jars. The children are enjoying the leftover jam (not enough for a full jar) spread on their bread at lunchtime.
