Our Favorite Freezer Jam

\
Today after school we headed to Grandma's Garden
to pick some fresh strawberries
{and radishes and lettuce, but this story is about strawberries :)}


I love that these boys know their way around a garden.
They get down in there and choose the perfect red berries.
Sam is so funny he picks each one up to make sure it is totally red
then says twist and pull, so funny.

One perfect berry...more to come!


Next step was prepping the berries, joe loved this part


And onto mashing, sam's favorite...

Measuring berries to mix with sugar and surjell


The boys love working with grandma in the kitchen and she lets them help every step of the way


Marking our dates on the jam


Our 2012 batch of freezer jam.  
The favorite of the peanut butter and jelly eaters of our household!!
