It's That Time of Year

You know.  The time when I go absolutely nuts trying to can, freeze and otherwise preserve all the goodies that my garden is producing.  Some of the first fruits, so to speak...

Strawberry currant juice.  Fourteen pints, so far.  I was trying to get a photo with the light coming through the jars.  Meh.  Didn't work so well, but they are really beautiful in person.

Strawberry freezer jam.  And yes, I ate this example as soon as I checked to see if the picture turned out okay.  lol.  This year, I did a little something different than in past years.  Instead of chopping the berries in my food processor, I just mashed them with a potato masher.  The jam is much chunkier and, in my opinion, very tasty.  I think I'm going to do that with the strawberries from now on.
