As I believe I mentioned a couple months ago I started making homemade wine…well fruit wine, not grapes. Well to make your own wine you needs lots of sugar…or A LOT of fruit. For example, 18lbs of grapes I remember reading, and that might have been for one gallon.

Either way, lots of sugar, and on one of my 25lbs bags, there was a recipe for strawberry jam. Well I got to thinking, the amish do it, why couldn't I? So I wen out got, some pectin, and 3 quarts of strawberries.

It was easy and turned out really well, although I would like it to be a little firmer and less sugary, but that is for next time, or when I try again with a different fruit.

So do any of you guys make anything or do your own canning/bottling? I know several of you have vegetable/fruit gardens, do you just eat them, or do something with them like this?
