16 lbs of strawberries=freezer jam

Not quite as romantic as growing and picking them myself: I just picked them up at Costco. And truly, I could get more for less money by just buying Costco's jam, too. But, freezer jam tastes better! And I feel like a pioneer! (No snide comments that pioneers didn't have freezers. It's a moot point. They had jam, didn't they?) Here it comes!

My super smashers!

A little pectin and sugar and that's it! No cooking! Just pour it in the containers! Minimally processed means maximal taste! (and minimal work)


My baby assisted in the jam making process too! Thank you!



Ahhh...sweet reward!

Where'd you get the giant-sized jars? I've never seen those here.
