Berry Picking!

I went strawberry picking back in June with Renee and Jesse's little cousin Jillian and had such a good time! I picked berries for a couple weeks during the summer when I was younger, but hadn't since so I couldn't wait to do it again. Jesse and I decided to give away strawberry jam as our wedding favor and this was the first step.

The next morning I went over to Renee's so we could make the jam. I was so so so excited to make jam, but it wasn't exactly what I expected. It took us like 5 hours, but it could have something to do with the fact that we had so many little jars to fill. And, everything had to be so hot, my fingertips were toasted by the time we were done! 

Overall, it was worth it. The jars were perfect and we tried some of the extra jam and I'll admit homemade is mucho better than store bought!
