Well all I can say is Wow. I used to make jam all the time. And the recipe on the box of pectin used to use more berries and sugar. And made more jars at a time.
The little man and I went on a strawberry hunt this morning. We found some just past Bi-zi farms. I like the littler place and feel like I'm supporting the owner. So we bought a flat and stopped at the store for lids and pectin.
Got home and went to work. We got all the berries ready for jam and shortcake. We got two batches of jam that equaled 12 half pints. If nothing else we do have some jam for the next year. We will see if I manage to get another flat and make more.
We will enjoy the shortcake tonight for supper. A good day for the little man and I. He learned he does not like to stand there and stir and stir and stir. He gave up after the first batch and let me do the second.
