Berry season is upon us, so I started with strawberries.

Then moved on to currants ( these I actually had in the freezer, mine are just starting to ripen now, so I’ll be picking those soon).

I have to cook these some first and then strain through a berry bag to get the juice.

I do end up with a lot of scraps for my compost pile.

Then back in the pot to cook with the sugar and pectin.

Strawberry jam and currant jelly….time to get the store stocked back up!
