strawberry rhubarb jam 2011
Yesterday Amy and I made another round of strawberry rhubarb jam. From 16lbs of strawberries we got about 40 pints of jam which was 11-12 batches! Amy has a rhubarb plant, so she has been saving up several harvests for Jam Day. Strawberry Rhubarb might possibly be my favorite combination of fruit – it always reminds me of the amazing Strawberry Rhubarb pies that my grandma makes.
Amy and I have canned so much together that we operate like a well oiled machine, we each have our jobs to do and do them together in great harmony. I always ladle, she always wipes the rims and places lids and rings. Whenever I have to can without her, I HATE it and swear that I’ll never do it without her again.
I love that.
Next I’m dreaming of Peach Lavender Butter. mmmm…
