Boy were we wrong when thought it would be quick and easy to make some jam for family and friends this Christmas! But it was a learning experience and I think it would be a whole lot smoother the next time around. Our day started out nice and lazy with some shopping for supplies at the local Ace Hardware - they have a small canning section. And then we realized that our pot wasn't big enough to hold the rack that Ace carried. No big deal we think - we'll just use tongs to get the jars in and out of the boiling water. Bad idea! But each jar sealed and the final product is a delicious blackberry and raspberry jam. Merry Christmas to all the lucky recipients!
