Jammed out!

I made 53 jars of Blackberry and Raspberry jam today with my Mother. My Mom (the lovely and talented lady that she is) grows her own Blackberries and Raspberries and freezes the harvest to make jam out of. Well my poor Mom works soooo much so today when I found out that she had the day off I thought it would be a great idea to help her empty her freezer out and make the berries into jam. Needless to say that 53 jars later we only emptied out about half of what she has! I guess we'll be back to the "jam grind" as soon as I find a home for some of this jam.

Oooh oooh me me me!
I would love to talk to your mom. I really want to grow my own raspberries and other berries. We have a big area in our backyard for a garden and I wouldn't mind at all if we planted all berries.

I would LOVE some jam! I'm not no Better Crocker, and do NOT enjoy canning, so if you really need to get rid of some, send it our way!!!

BTW, I loved your post about going sleding with the old car hood!!! Classic!
