Every summer I get the bug to make freezer jam. It's easy & fun, and nothing tastes better on an english muffin than jam you canned yourself. Ava was in charge of choosing a flavor and initially she decided on strawberry-blueberry. When we walked into the grocery store there were gorgeous, fragrant peaches begging us to buy them, so she changed her mind. I am still intrigued by the strawberry-blueberry combo . . . maybe we can tackle that next week! I peeled and pitted the peaches, Ava chopped & diced (with her super-awesome kid-friendly knives) and Sophia helped us stir in the other ingredients and pour into our jars. The hardest part is waiting 24 hours for the jam to set! If you want to try freezer jam you can purchase a box of sure-jell pectin. Instructions, information and tons of recipes (including hot pepper jelly - SO making some this summer) can be found on the insert.
Mmmmm, they smell delicious!
Chopping. She's getting good in the kitchen!
Dicing! Such a cute helper!
Stir it up.
Yummmmmy
On another note . . .
We started swimming lessons this week - my sweet babies were so excited & they were such good listeners waiting for instructions!!
