We went out to Sauvie Island with a few friends to pick strawberries. It was a little early in the season but we still ended up with a full flat of gorgeous berries. The weather was perfect - slightly cloudy and cool and it wasn't crowded. Calvin had his first hayride out to the fields! 
Here is a good pointer: it is neither wise nor practical to undertake a jam making session less than 2 hours before one of you needs to get to work. It was a little nuts but we made 6 lovely jars of jam and Brad made it to work with seconds to spare. 
After looking at several different recipes - all very similar with just slight variations for the most part - we decided to use the recipe from Apples for Jam for reference. Very simple: berries, lemon and sugar. It was fun. And delicious. We will make more! 
This morning we enjoyed newly made jam on toasty buttery croissants along with yogurt and berries.
