JAM

I remember my childhood days of standing over a pot of boiling berries with tons of sugar and stirring during one of moms great jam making sessions. She made (I guess I should use present tense but I'm talking my memory here) some pretty good jams in bulk--boysenberry, raspberry, pomegranate (I don't remember seeds being an issue); just about any berry she could get. I must say I have not followed suit with the canning skills but thanks to Ball I can still make jam--freezer jam that is. Just blend berries, mix in sugar & pectin, and voila a good batch of jam but of course not as good as mom's. No boiling or sterilizing jars necessary which is right up my alley.
