Anyone for some strawberry jam?

One of our annual summer activities is making strawberry jam. The process isn't necessarily fun, but the product is great and lasts all year long! There were so many strawberries to cut, I thought my fingers were going to shrivel up and fall off. These pics are just a part of them. We even tried a few strawberry-kiwi jars when we didn't have enough strawberries in our last batch.



Nate got in on the action as well. "You mean I get to eat them, cut them, and smash them up???" What could be more appealing?

And the final product... lots of jam. In fact, 72 cups of jam. Yum!
