Photography-wise, I only pulled out the P&S and I’ve got nothing to write home about this week. But as far as expanding my kitchen prowess goes, I’m very proud of these pictures. :)
On Saturday, we visited Berry Patch Farms where we ate picked organic strawberries and peaches, and had a great time doing so.
I was determined to get some of the big ones up high, so up the tree I went:
Something like 4 lbs. of strawberries and 15 lbs. of peaches later, our bounty looked like this:
Then it turned into this (after a fair bit of work) in the span of 36 hours:
That used up all of our strawberries, but we still have a LOT of peaches left that I may freeze or can as slices.
But the big deal here (at least to me) is that Sunday was my first time ever making jam or canning anything! While it was definitely a learning experience, it was also a lot of fun and I’m so proud of my first 10 little jars of jam. :) Those 10 little jars are my choice for Best Shot Monday, although they are hard-pressed to compete against Mr. Strawberry-face up there. ;)
I will be blogging a step-by-step guide to canning jam (with pictures) in the near future, so if you want to get started canning be sure to check it out.
