Canning season begins...

With 15 half-pints of strawberry jam, thanks to Jo, who brought us the berries from her yard. This is almost like filling the hay barn. If there was a jam barn, it would now be more than half full, including enough to give away! I don't even have to think about strawberry jam again until this time next year. I just open the cupboard, and oh, there it is!

It's nice to be sending the jars back to the pantry from the garage, when all winter, we've been sending them the other way, from pantry to garage.
