jammin it up freezer style!!!

i made my jam this year alll..by..myself!!!
i don't know why...but, every year i get
 a little nervous when i think of making my jam.
i'm not sure why...
1. i always make it with bee
2. she basically ends up doing all the work.
3. i do all the talking (that's what little sisters do, right?)

unfortunately this year we just couldn't find any time to get together!
so, it was up to ME!
it was wonderful!
 i felt so...homemakery.

my best friend grows and sells boysenberry's every year!!

tasty, delish, HOMEMADE jam!!!

  1. I got my Jam made last night. I was so excited that I finally found some boysenberries at the Farmers Market. That salad looks yummy. I made one like that for Father's Day dinner. Next time I want to try your dressing.
