A Saturday Making Jam








I am in Sprouts on Thursday night and run into a deal on Strawberries, Raspberries, and Blueberries.  I have been cleaning all day, all of my errands are done and I think to myself, "let's do something we haven't done on Saturday."  Making Jam it was.  Made plain strawberry, plain raspberry and a mixture of strawberry, raspberry and blueberries. (I love blueberries but was a little unsure on how they would turn out in a jam)  So on the Internet I go.  I find a recipe that looked like I could do it and ran to Walmart for a few of the supplies.  Turns out....  making jam is way easy, way more yummy than Smuckers and the girls and I had a lot of fun doing it.   Michaela even found this little guy, yes he is a little snail, in the raspberries.  He found a home in a mason jar with some grass and lettuce leaves.  We ended up making homemade bread and filling ourselves until we thought we were going to burst.  I think salsa is calling my name next:)
