Strawberry Jelly

I love my parents garden. 

It's beautiful.

Each year my dad plants a few more things and the garden just keeps getting better.

One of those beauties would be strawberries. 

My parents had those things growing like crazy!

I picked as many as I could.

We couldn't eat them fast enough. 

I thought this year I would try to be a little more domestic and venture out and make my own jelly.  It didn't seem to complicated.

 It wasn't complicated at all.  Just took a little time.

 We mashed A LOT of strawberries.  A LOT.

 And yet, when it was all mixed together with the pectin and sugar we only managed 5 1/2 measly jars.  That was a bit disappointing. 

Until we ate some. 

No more disappointment.  It was so good. 

 It never fully jellified as I had anticipated but the taste was still perfect.  It was more like a strawberry sauce you would use on crepes and ice cream and yogurt and with sliced bananas...and we used it on all of those.  :)

The disappointment returned.

We were all out of jelly!
