[...] Remember Connor’s bowl of mashed strawberries that was sitting in the fridge, waiting for me t… Well, for some reason I couldn’t seem to get myself to the store in any kind of reasonable time frame, so I ended up putting his berries in the freezer, where they sat for another week. (Not ideal jam-making procedure, but it works in a pinch–thank goodness for freezers!) Finally I got the pectin, and late last week Connor was very excited to spend the morning making his jam. Now, jam with no recipe–even freezer jam–can be a bit dicey, since most jams rely on the right combination of pectin, acid, and sugar to gel properly. I assured Connor that he really could make the jam almost totally by himself, but that it might be a good idea to follow a few guidelines so that he would actually end up with jam, rather than syrup. Fortunately, he agreed, and after much much joyous and messy measuring, pouring, and mixing, he ended up with a lovely (and admittedly very sweet) jam. A fun morning all around! [...]
