A new obsession.

 I have wanted to can homemade jam ever since I saw a tutorial a couple of years ago on the Pioneer Woman, but always ended putting it off and making freezer jam instead.

Well now that we have a freezer full of fish, I had a perfect excuse to jump into canning.

And oh boy was it fun.

5 total hours and 20 plus jars of strawberry and raspberry jam later.

I am officially obsessed.

It is taking every bit of self control not to run to the fruit stand to buy more flats of berries.

I may just allow myself one more canning session this season then put my supplies away until next year because if I continue Mike will call that bald guy with a mustache from Intervention and invite all of my family and friends over who will have letters that begin with, "Your canning has affected me in the following ways..."
