We Made Homemade Jam!


I had Columbus Day off (the perks of working for a bank!) and my mom and I decided to do some good old fashioned canning. We made apricot jam and raspberry jam and it's so good! It was so much work though. Both my mom and I were covered with granulated sugar, fruit, and burn marks. We had to mop the floor afterwards because it got so messy! We thought that both of our backs had broken in the process. But through it all, we had a great time and we have some really good jam to show as the fruit of our labors.

It's about time that you update your blog! Just kidding. Your mom is so cute! And I love the picture of you posing with the measuring cup. Did you happen to make any jam for me?

So fun making jam! Looks like you guys had a blast. Makes me want to go home and make jam with my mom again.

Nothing is better then homemade jam. I was shocked the first time I had to actually buy a jar of jam from the store. Sounds so yummy!
