The jam is all done. So after everything, I have 7 quarts of whole strawberries in the freezer, 8-8oz jars of cooked jelly, and 6-16oz and 1-8oz jars of freezer jam. Not too shabby considering a number of strawberries did not make it. They were so ripe that by the time I could do anything with them, they were too soft and mushy.
I have to say, I'm sure my mother laughs every time she hears about us canning/preserving anything. She did a lot of it when we were kids and I think we all helped at times. I'm not saying we always helped willingly, which is why she's probably laughing at us now. I love you Mom for teaching us how to do all this "old fashioned" home making stuff.
