JAM!

It all started when Blackberries were on sale at a local farmers market. I bought some and ate them they were delish! So I went back a bought about 12 pints more...as well as 5 pints of raspberries...I couldn't control myself! I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them all but finally decided on making jam.

Step by step...much the berries and pour in a pan.Then add sugar...


When it starts to foam, add pectin. Stir for one minute.
Scrape off foam so it looks pretty when you put it in jars.
Scoop into jars...sWipe off jars so they seal well...



put jars in steamer...and steam for 15 mins.

Remove and let them cool!
My mom helped me with the entire process, and we had so much fun being in the kitchen together!

We were so tired by the end because we had been standing on our feet for 4 hours. It was so much fun though!

12 pints of blackberries: 9 Jars of jam (plus 5 sugar free for mom), plus I made syrup a few days before..plus I ate a bunch!
8 Pints of Raspberries: 16 jars of jam
8 pints strawberries: 16 jars of jam!
4 cups mixed berry: 8 jars of Jam!

YUMMY!
