Jarring Jam

This week, I took a trip out to Rocky for a few days to visit the acreage and my fam!  It was great to get out of the city and walk around in my bare feet again, all around.  My Mum had the day off, so we spent the afternoon making home made jam and jelly! Once you taste this stuff, you'll never want to go back to store bought again.  This stuff is sweet, and juicy and rich and delish! I have a hard time even eating store bought jam because I was spoiled growing up! Thanks Mum!!
MMM...Apple Jelly!
Gramma and Cami Stir the Raspberry Jam
When we were done, we had to do up dishes, but the best part is licking out the pot before ya wash it! Check out the jam that fell off the spoon before it hit my mouth!! 
Camilla did this while we jarred
One delicious batch of raspberry jam down! 

It was so fun to work with my mum and learn all her tips and tricks! I can't wait to make my own jam, from my own berries some day! It was so much fun! The rest of the afternoon was spent hanging out and laughing, and getting dinner ready for everyone. Camilla loved the room to run and move at the acreage! She enjoyed spending time with her aunt and uncle and gramma and grampa.  It was a lot of fun!! Definitely worth the trip out!! I even got some jam to take home with me!  Mr. Stannix was so excited to have something other than cheez whiz on his toast in the mornings.
