I need to boast for a minute. ;) Krista began making her own bread a while ago, and I loved it so much that I wanted to do it too. (plus she got tired of me snatching her bread all the time) I am finally to the point where I think I make it pretty yummy. I grind the wheat myself and make delicious bread for my family to munch on!
So, one of my clients gave me some fruit, and my dad brought some over and I realized I had more fruit than we were going to eat. I thought I would give making jam a try. I have made it a few times with some friends, (meaning I watched as they the pros made it) but never completely on my own. I was a bit nervous. As I was at the store picking out some Pectin, a very nice lady talked to me for a while and gave me some great tips. I chickened out yesterday, but got up determined this morning, and did it. The girls and I came in from swimming and couldn't resist opening a jar and trying some. Total success!!! We tried the pluot jam and loved it. Maybe we'll have to have toast for dinner so we can try the apricot/peach jam. :)( by the way, thanks for hanging out with us this morning Krista, I love all the free time we get in the summer time.)

Look at you! You go, girl! Too bad I wasn't around to take some of that bread off of your hands. It looks delicious.
What a show off! Just kidding - you know that I'm totally jealous because I am SO not domestic.
I made eggs and toast for dinner tonight just to try the jam. YUM! YUM! YUM! We LOVED it! Thanks for letting me take a jar home. I might have to hang out more often!
