About a month ago we trekked out to a farm not too far away for some yummy strawberry picking. This was actually our fourth year at this particular place, and we managed to pick our usual two buckets. True was on my back this year, as opposed to inside my tummy, so I came away with different aches and pains. And then the following night, Dave and I made our first batch of strawberry jam. I gave jam making a whirl last spring for the first time, and quickly became obsessed. We go through jam quickly at this house, so after the strawberry batch, I made peach, and plum and triple berry. We opened our last jar the week before we went picking, so I went through an entire year without having to buy jam. Sweet!
I think we were successful with our strawberry jam this year, and I am looking forward to making peach and plum in the coming weeks. Random side note: as I was taking these pictures of the girls this crazy lady kept jumping into the picture and trying to tell the girls how to stand...you can only imagine their reaction to that, but it did make for an eventful picture taking moment.
