Austin was my main helper - sticking with it through both batches, he was a great sport about it.
Chase wanted to help also and was great at stirring for me.
The last time (and I hate to admit I think it is the only other time) I made freezer jam was when we lived in Washington and had loads of blackberry bushes around our home and on our property so I made blackberry freezer jam.
Austin also cooked us dinner last night (really trying to teach life skills this summer to all the kids). James and I both took turns helping him.
He made the chicken stroganoff recipe from this book...I also had him select four other recipes that we are hoping he can perfect this summer. Let me say - dinner was delicious!!!
Today Austin got his cast removed! Before he got it off I had to take this last picture of his cast (signed by who else but Tyra Banks, lol...)
It's amazing how much healing occurs in six weeks. The doctor told us he should expect some pain for a few weeks but that he doesn't have any real limitations. It was a happy day!

My mom still makes freezer strawberry jam in Utah. Do you buy the raspberry from Fry's to make the jam? Or do you have raspberry's growing in your back yard?
Also Seth got his cast off from his arm today.
I just attemped my first batch of strawberry freezer jam a couple weeks ago. I was in shock that it actually worked..LOL! Your jam looks delicious!! I'm so glad that Austin got his cast off. YEA!!!
I'm glad the cast is off and I hope Austin continues to mend. Great job on that jam! Great job having the kids cook. That recipe book looks interesting. You're always doing wonderful things. Hope I can grow up to be like you! :-) Love ya.
