Do I want to tell them how easy it is to make or do I like all the compliments? Guess. LOL This year I taught my 13-year-old how and she is loving all the praise. Your video reminded me of how years ago a friend of my mom's made strawberry rhubarb pie.

We are typically killing ourselves with bushels of berries, peaches, tomatoes. It's the old 'well if one is good, thirty pints / quarts should be great' mentality. Then of course you're left hating the process, not very fond of the fruit (or assorted vegetable), and cursing the day you spent over the hot steaming mixture instead of enjoying the day. <BR/><BR/>I'll have to give this 'new' method a try :DOne Big Happy Family In Utahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00647496160766450441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-12377675813359849512008-08-12T11:00:00.000-08:002008-08-12T11:00:00.000-08:00There IS nothing like homemade jam.

We only lived there a year, so I don't know what happened the next year, but that piece of prpoperty was subsequently sold and broken up into lots and has a bunch of houses on it now. I'd like to try it again though. We may try to grow strawberries here next year, as soon as we can establish that the Queen isn't actually allergic to them.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190489990653412687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-50281730057831461172008-08-12T07:30:00.000-08:002008-08-12T07:30:00.000-08:00Good job on the video and jam making!
