Making Strawberry Jam

Today Isabel and her friend Lucie made strawberry jam with their moms. The girls put the jars in the kettle (to boil), picked leaves of the strawberries, and helped a bit with the food processor (not too much as it was loud & it kinda scared them.) We left them out of the cooking & filling stage of jam making. All our lids sealed and hopefully our jam will set nicely. Tomorrow the girls will clean up the jam (from where I spilled filling them) and put labels on and have some to eat. I sampled a little bit as I was filling and I think we did a great job! We hope to get some good pictures tomorrow of the girls together with their jars of jam.
