What Flo Rida and I have in common

You have no idea how many songs inspire me when jamming. This last batch way created with hints of The Charlie Daniels Band, The Alman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd, but in the end it was Flo Rida who put the final touches on this year's first batch of strawberry jam which in all fairness will be labelled as preserves (someone has trouble measuring properly and it rhymes with jitney).

An undisclosed amount of strawberries that started as one gallon.

Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down and is the secret in all good jams. This is what 7 cups of sugar looks like

Chuck's first jamming experience.  He's got mad stirring skills

Jamming makes for a messy kitchen
Two pressure cookers later.....

Strawberry Preserves
In the words of Flo Rida, Oh hot d@m3 this is my jam.  Keep it partyin' 'til the AM...ya'll.  Let the jamming season begin.
