Jam, and More Jam

This is Tara's daughter Jaxen and Stetson zonked out on her couch. The kids were sick of jam too.
My lovely peach-mashing hubbie.
That is Tara taking a short break.
This was just my stash. All of Tara's jam was sitting on her counter.



My friend Tara and I got the great idea to do a "few" batches of freezer jam. Tara had done it before but I never had so we went to Brigham to buy fruit. We of course got what we thought we would need to do our few batches of peach, strawberry, and raspberry. Well, needless to say we bought way to much fruit and ended up doing jam at Tara's house till 1:00 am. Now that it is done I am glad she taught me how to make it. Mike came when he got off work to pick up the kids and we talked him into helping us mash some peaches. He was thrilled. We made 48 pints and 12 half pints. Abundance is a blessing and boy do we have an abundance of jam!

Way to go! I need to learn... I've been avoiding it for some reason.;) You'll LOVE having all that yummy jam though.
