jam on it

Yeah, it was like Home on the Prairie weekend. Wendy joined me on the farm as we prepared two new rows for plantin'. We also got our hands dirty in the weeds... not before we planted a row of Spinach and a surprise. I don't expect the surprise to work too well, based on what I've heard... but we did it anyways... We'll see who is laughing- "us" (and crying- "us") come July!

We got homemade Cole slaw goin' with the abundance of cabbage and carrots from the last harvest.

Then, in a barter/gift from a strawberry-growin' friend, I came up on just-under-a-kilo of strawberries... so, we jammed on it:

Beheading the berries and beginning the dicing/slicing/mushing/crushing session.

Posing while we stir in the sugar and wait for the boil.

The final jarred product. It yielded 18 oz, split evenly into two separate jars (boiled and sterilized to preserve the jam! Yosh! It is an intense jam, super red and "gaba" sweet... (should have used a bit less sato and sukosh more remon ju-su.
