Heidi Knitting |
Got my jam on with Heidi. After work on Thursday we went to
my apartment to do some knitting and make some jam. I fully used her for
stirring the goopy goodies whilst I poured in the sugar. But for the most part
she was practicing her knitting.
It smelt so divine! For my first time making jam and without
any instructional help I'd have to say we did a damn fine job. Didn't take all
that long from start to finish. Which might have something to do with the fact
that I already had the strawberries washed, cut and cleaned; so there was none
of that to slow us down. All I had to do was measure out my ingredients, prep
my jars and cook.
Strawberries in a pot! |
We did run into a hitch when pouring them into jars. By that
I mean we ran out. So while Heidi finished cleaning off the rims and putting
lids on I quickly washed more in water that made my hands hurt it was so hot.
See I have this thing with glass ... I fear it'll shatter. So I was so nervous
on this step I'm surprised I didn't make a bigger mess. Once we got the jam into
the jars we cleaned the pot and put the jars into a water bath. This freaked
even Heidi and Daniel out because the jars were doing a jig in that damn pot.
And done! They sat in the post boiled water for a wee bit
then Heidi used the tongs and placed then in my mitted hands to be set on the
counter to cool. Once we made sure everything was turned off Daniel and I took
Heidi home with a nice warm jar of jam. I could have driven her on my
motorcycle but she didn't seem to want to hop on. Not sure why!
