Making Homemade Jam Isn't As Hard As You Think It Is

When I was a little girl my mother would make homemade freezer jam. She worked out of the home, had a whole passel of kids and had very limited  time, but she knew how much her family liked it and so she found time to make it.

When I grew up I wanted to be a fabulous cook just like she was. I remember when I made my very first batch of jam. I made it with my daughter and all of the warm memories of cooking in the kitchen with my mother as a little girl returned. I don't think I am as good a cook as my mother, but there is still hope.

*There is a BIG secret though to making jam, as taught to me by my mother and this dictates when I make jam.

ONLY make jam with berries that are on sale. Otherwise it is way too expensive. This last week strawberries were on "ganga" sale for .99 cents a package and that meant it was time to start canning and filling the freezer!

I wanted to share with all of you how easy it really is to make jam.
