When someone posts on facebook that Walmart has Strawberries for 88cents I don’t waste any time in heading out and grabbing some. Our store is notorious for running out of things fast, especially when it’s on such a great sale.
Once I had the kids out the door to school, I headed over to grab some Strawberries, more canning lids, and sugar – because we were out of sugar. I knew before I even picked up my families favorite fruit what we’d be using them for. 2 lbs for jam, 2 lbs for curd and 2lbs for the kids to snack on.
Whenever I start canning things I feel like I channel my mom. I can’t remember not having some sort of canned goods in our pantry, and the last couple of years we spent a lot of time doing our canning together. It’s one of the many skills I’m glad my mom taught me how to do.
I made this using lemon juice instead of water. Also I didn’t sieve I used my stick blender. Very nice.
