Strawberry Syrup and Jam

My first experience of canning, WITHOUT my mom! And it went really well!

We picked 20 lbs of strawberries at a local farm, we lucked out this year, we just found out that they will not be reopeningnext spring.

Then I made jam, from 20 lbs I sent 5lbs to a neighbor and 3lbs to a home teacher, and the rest ended up in 24 jars!

We've enjoyed having the fresh jam its SO much better than store bought. We look forward to making peach and blueberry jam later in the summer!
