First time making Jam! 5 pics.

Hey Everyone,

Well today my grandma came over with a whole mess of Apricots, and we made Jam! I've never done anything like this before, so it was a fun experience. The plums are getting ripe too, so she said we'll have to make some Plum Jelly. Anyways, I took some pics. It sure was fun! We made 11.5 jars, so I think we did pretty good.

(Before adding sugar, so its pretty nasty looking,lol.)

The final product!

Some got a whole lot more fruit in them than others, but from what I tasted on the spoon, it is great!

Oh, man. That's my favorite kind of jam. My mom would win awards at the fair for hers. I really do need to get over my fear of canning alone. Thanks so much for posting your pics. Very inspiring.

That's wonderful!

It's a great, and important skill to have, and truthfully, much easier to do if you learn at the elbow of an expert, as you did.

That looks delicious!

Great Job!! Thanks for adding the pics. Apricot is my all time fav. Too bad they are about 1 dollar a lb around here. I may try to find a u-pick place.

Canning is so rewarding. :rainbow-sun
