Lately I have been a food storage junkie! I loved the case lot sales this month and I am glad I have 1 more week left to stock up on things at great prices. Last weekend one of the Brothers in my ward gave me a flat of blackberries. Boy did he open a can of worms for me! With in an hour I had them all cleaned and seperated, bad(garbage), o-kay (syrup and muffins that day!), really good I froze and planned on making jam. Well then on Wednesday our neighbor Alma gave us a Huge grocery sack full of peaches from her tree! I immediately thought of more jam, and peach cobbler and peach crisp. So far I made cooked jam from that, which was an accident because I thought I was making freezer jam, so I had to hand that out so it could be consumed with in a couple of weeks( I had 9 cups of it). Then I care fully read the recipies from that point on and have sucessfully made 3 batches of freezer jam! 1 batch of peach (7 cups) and 2 batches of strawberry (10 cups)( I got the strawberries for $2 for 2lbs at Sams club. Needless to say I feel like I have had some help getting prepaired this month! What would you do with out great neighbors and great sales from our grocery stores!
I have planned to make next week some blackberry freezer jam, strawberry peach freezer jam and blackberry peach freezer jam! I just have to wait till my next grocery trip to get more freezer containers and fruit pectin!

That sounds SO yummy, if you get around to it email me your recipe!
See how easy that was! I thought we were in the same ward and are neighbors, how come no one is giving me any free fruit?! :)
Where did you learn to do all that? I've alway been intimidated of making things like jams and jellys. I'm impressed! -Michelle H.
