Summer is always a time of bounty and berries are literally icing on the cake. We are lucky enough to have a raspberry garden, numerous wild strawberry plants, and ELEVEN blueberry bushes! We joke that we should name our mini farm "Blueberry fields" or something as fitting, however unoriginal.
Of course with bounty comes preservation in the forms of canning, desserts, and berry everything! This year I made 21 jars of strawberry jam. I am new to canning since my family didn't can fruits or vegetables. I am finding it relatively quick and definitely worthwhile, especially come mid winter and being able to open something that you grew yourself.
Here are some photographs of our rewards and I wish you a most plentiful bounty of your own!
