Hello Cuties,I been making Strawberry jam the last couple of days .First i picked 26 Quarts @ $1.84 a Quart.Then i started with the jam process.I thought i would show u what i do and i am hopeing you can pick up a tip or two.<br /><br />
Using the straw saves your poor thumb from hurting for days lol My hands and nails are full of juice from the berries.The smaller Jars are for giving to friends or people that ask lol.Made a total of 34 jars .Next will be my raspberrys out in my back yard when they rippen ,then blueberries.Thanks for Looking Hugs Carolyn

Yummy! I've heard of using the straw to remove the leaves. I'm glad to see it is easy and effective. You have brought back memories of making jams and jellies with my mother. She also used paraffin wax to seal the jars. I know you will enjoy your strawberry jam all winter long as well as the people you gift a jar to.

Carolyn, looks delicious. I have used the straw trick when I make my berry salads. My family can eat a lot of that salad. The jam looks good. I haven't made any in years, when we would go out with out girls and pick the wild strawberries that grew on our property when we lived in North Carolina. They were so much smaller than yours - about the size of a large raspberry, but so good.
Looks like you have a good supply to enjoy.

Wow, never heard of that straw trick but using that next. I have a 2 lb plastic box of them in the refrigerator now for slicing and eating. Put some on ice cream. I haven't made jam, jelly or syrup in a long time. Husband eats strawberry jam every other day on toast with peanut butter for short term breakfast--or later in the day as a snack. He's been getting the Smucker's store brand though as I don't get out to pick the YouPick fields anymore. When I made jams I used the canner but years ago used the wax as taught by my mother. Yummy!! You have Raspberries too, yum, then pick the blueberries. Oh man, would love that.
