We just finished the last jar of homemade strawberry jam and are anxiously awaiting the new crop of strawberries. It promises to be a good crop this year because of just the right mix of sunshine and rain. My 94 year old mother and I make enough to fill the freezer, supplying all the siblings and grands (and now great-grands)…
