I had always assumed that one needed to use pectin...but I trust your experience! I may try some your way this year. Our strawberries are not ready yet, but it won't be long! (Remember last week when I told you that your talk of strawberries had put me in the mood for some? Well, the next morning, I got a jar out of the pantry and it really hit the spot. ~smile~)<br /><br />I can imagine you two "hitting the ground running"! I'll bet you had a productive day...and I'm glad that you had a restful day before that. We need both kinds to keep on going, don't we? And your mother...a gem! What a treat to have dinner brought to you after a busy day!<br /><br />Hugs...<br />CherylCheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057606934247237658.post-52010075463063675902012-04-23T23:47:59.062-04:002012-04-23T23:47:59.062-04:00Strawberry jam is a favorite at our house.
