We moved on to strawberries and the kids were a big help as is usual. We stemmed, washed them and made jam. Not sure if you can see it, but I believe there is a slight pinkish hugh around Els' mouth. One of the benefits of helping mom make jam.
This girl is a master stemmer. She flew through those strawberries and enjoyed a few herself. She's gonna be a great momma.

So there they are. Eleven yummy jars of jam and, thanks to my husband, enough crushed strawberries for five more batches in the freezer. Some will be made into jam and some will be used for strawberry lemonade and shortcake this summer. Isn't it grand?
Stay tuned for beach pictures...

You guys are good!! Are these strawberries you grew yourself?
oops that post was from me Kelli...
I wish we had grown the strawberries. We actually just decided this year to add a strawberry bed in back since we seem to be buying them most every year. So next year maybe we will have enough in our own yard!
The lasagna was delish, thanks for a yummy dinner!
oh ok. I remember that post I think ... and again was so impressed.
have a good weekend,
Kelli
