We had our annual strawberry jam making afternoon today. Evan had fun wearing a red apron and smashing strawberries with Aunt Michelle. Yes, I remember wearing that apron myself way back in the '80s. It was a family project: Mom cut strawberries, Evan and Michelle smashed, Micah and I measured sugar, Michelle and I cooked the jam, and Mom washed the jars. I was glad we were able to make jam today, I was starting to worry that strawberry season would end before we were able to make jam, which would be very unfortunate indeed. There's nothing like homemade strawberry jam, it spoils one forever to store bought jam. On strawberry jam making days, our tradition is to enjoy it with biscuits for dinner.
The end result.
