Well, in trying to keep to my "NO TV" rule and also trying to keep to our natural food approach, I put the boys to work by having them help make jam using fresh Jersey berries.

Blueberries, blackberries & strawberries- YUM-O!!!!

Henry & Jason (in orange) hard at work.

This is 3lbs of strawberries and 1lb combined of blueberries & blackberries.

Showing off their hard work.

After adding just a cup of unsweetened Organic apple juice and sugar free pectin, bring to a rolling boil

Getting ready for a hot "bath" for 10 minutes in a full rolling boil.

MMMMmmmmmm! 4 pints of fresh Triple Berry Jersey Jam!

If in doubt how to keep kids busy, refer to Debi's blog...
Debi, stop making the rest of us look bad! ;0) My aunt always tells this story of me helping her make jam when I was about 5, I kept saying, "I think that's enough sugar, sugar's bad for your teeth..."
You really ARE Wonder Woman and Super Mom! :-) That looks wonderful!
Wow! That looks delicious! I'm so jealous :) (And in awe of the no TV still...)
I have been thinking about trying my hand at canning and now that I see young boys can do I think I will give it a go!
