One of my favorite hobbies in the summer is picking berries and making jam. My friends and neighbors all like it too :)My hobby started three years ago with wild blackberries when my mom came to visit. Last year I picked blueberries and made 6 small jars of blueberry jam. It was so precious, I only gave away 3 jars and that was tough to do since it was our favorite of the jams. So, this year, despite everything we have going on right now, I managed to can 18 jars of blueberry jam. It doesn't seem like that much with as many PB + J sandwiches that Colden and I eat. I have to admit that these are the first berries that I've canned that were not hand picked... but I couldn't miss the opportunity and it wasn't realistic to pick, can jam, move to a new house and leave for vacation all in 1 weeks time!

You are such a homemaker! Someday, we'll get there :)
If you went to Baylor, we'd definitely call you Betty Baylor! I bet the jam is yummy yummy!
Bring one jar along with you to Breckenridge for us to sample. We made black raspberry the past two summers. Which do you prefer, the blueberry or blackraspberry? MOM
