I want to make something yummy!

Okay, I'm feeling inspired---I would LOVE to make some berry jam/jelly but have never done it before!  (well, I did it with my grandma when I was little, but.....)

So is it something I can do without tons of supplies, or do I need lots of gadgets?  What about jars/lids?  sealing?  favorite recipes?  Thanks ladies--you're making me wish I had some rhubarb too!

    If you don't want to go through the hassle of canning, I think LClaire made some freezer jam and said it was delish!  maybe she'd share the recipe?

    Freezer jam is super duper easy and very delish!  You get the Ball freezer jars and pectin, add 4 cups of blended fruit, and 1.5 cups of sugar.  Mix and freeze - it is that easy and tastes so much fresher than canned jam (I make that too) because it's not cooked and uses WAY less sugar.

    You could also make a berry crisp!  I've been making strawberry & rhubarb and cherry & rhubarb crisps lately because we've been blessed with so much seasonal fruit.

    I think I will go the freezer jam route for now--our neighbors gave us a jar for Christmas and oh my gosh! it was so good!  I didn't know it was so easy, either!

    Oh a crisp sounds freaking fantistic right now! (everything does, really...my morning sickness if finally going away and I want to eat EVERYTHING! :))  I just may have to get bakin'!
