We Be Jammin'

We spent several days this summer "reaping the harvest" of blackberries that grow wild behind our house on Whidbey Island...

I just can't pass up on something "free" that can be turned into something yummy! We enjoy an occasional cobbler thanks to all the berries I have frozen, but I also attempted making jam for the second year in a row! I would love to share photos of the "jam making process" but I actually find it a little tricky and didn't have a spare hand to snap a photo. I made things harder on myself this year because I started with a pot that was not nearly large enough and had to switch things around mid-jamming, and this is not something I would recommend! So, the best I could do was a photo of my little babies cooling on the counter...sweet success!

I then shipped them to Texas and created these cute little labels for them (2 Chicks Jam because I had some help from my partner in crime Carter)...

I added a decorative touch to the lid, tied on the label, and they are now the perfect pint sized (and might I add very affordable) gift to give away to friends and family...
