Hello Everyone,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. It was rainy and overcast for most of my weekend. Saturday was spent making Strawberry Jam, 160 jars in total. The groom, my son, and his bride are giving a jar of jam to each guest as their thank you gift.
It took 44 quarts of strawberries,
56 pounds of sugar and 22 boxes of pectin
to make the 160 jars.
And 12 hours.
Mosaic Monday is hosted by Mary
at Little Red House.
Thanks for stopping in and
have a great week!

What a fantastic idea as a wedding treat. Beats the usual thank you gifts hands down!
Hope the guests appreciate all the work that went into cooking all that jam. V
If I were a guest at your son's wedding, I would be delighted to receive one of your home-made pots of jam. Love this photo of the three stages of jam making, very creative.
Well done!! And it looks so delicious!!! Have a wonderful week! Cathy
I can't imagine making that much jam...you sure are a great mom! I know they appreciate you and everyone will love it! Wish I was closer...I bet your house smells amazing! ♥
What a terrific gift. Not to mention delicious! Lot of work went into those beautiful jars.
Wonderful mosaic. I love jams.
Wow! You've been busy. Yummy gift for the wedding guests. Fun mosaic.
That's a very nice gift... What a lot of work, but ohhhh, the scent in your home must be heavenly.
Wonderful idea! I'd love to receive such a gift at a wedding - what a labour of love.
It will be worth all the time it took when outside the snow is blowing!

Homemade gift are the very best gifts...the jam looks so pretty and so thoughtful.
What a wonderful mosaic of something that really does hit home. I used to make jam and preserves for years and years, but no longer. I but it, and it is not anywhere as good. I think 12 hours is a remarkable amount of time to do all you did You are quite the cook. Genie

Hello fellow Canadian blogger! I'm not Canadian but have lived here in Ontario for 10 years with my hubby.
We are on Lake Superior. Please drop by and say "hi" sometime.
Putting away those strawberries are a lot of work! But well worth it!
I'd love to have some of your jam. Actually, I would have loved being there making jam. I've always wanted to learn to can. My mom did it when I was young, and I've asked her to teach me. Yet she doesn't like it, so doesn't can anymore.
Your son and his bride's guests will love this handmade touch to the wedding!
What a lot of work for you but a great idea as a gift!! We have come back from a holiday in Normandy, France and there was a variety of home made jams every morning for breakfast, delicious. Great mosaic.
