I really don't get why one would say "I put up 16 jars of strawberry jam yesterday". And yet I have heard and read that phrase often. This year, being free from the daily grind of camp life, I have decided to return to canning, or "putting up". This week-end it was strawberries. From 5.6 kilos worth (about 12.3lbs for you empirical types) I "put up"12 jars of jam, 3 dozen muffins, and 2 pies.
All tucked into the freezer and ready to be plucked out when the cold hits us again, for a nice reminder of summer!
This picture shows my 5.6 kilos as well as Judi's batch.
