Jam!

My mom and I canned strawberry/raspberry jam last night. It is really yummy.



So here is the info I'll need next time. Read if you feel like it. We made 3 batches with 4 lbs of strawberries and 10 packages (6 oz each) of raspberries. This worked out to be exactly 15 cups of fruit. We ended up with 22 cups of jam. (15 various sized jars). Kroger "can-jel" calls for 5 cups of fruit and 7 cups of sugar. (yikes!) Regular sure jell calls of 6 cups of fruit and 5 cups of sugar. We did one batch with sure jell and the other 2 with can-jel (the last was 4/5ths of a batch, so we divided everything to work out). Next time get more fruit and use sure jell. The ratio of strawberries to raspberries is really good. So there you go.
