I’ve done refrigerator/freezer jam and pickles for a few years but this year I decided I wanted to try actually preserving for longevity. We went Berry picking yesterday and got a ton of Juneberries/Saskatoons, and Gooseberries. So I made a jam with both of them. Used this https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/make-jam-jelly/jams/berry-jams-without-pectin/. Everything seems to have gone according to plan as I followed the recipe intensely (mostly out of fear of effing it up, lol) and now I wait 24 hours to see if the water bath canning worked. Cross your fingers for me!
Also a HUGE thank you to this sub. I have been lurking for months learning the do’s and don’ts of canning and where to find tested recipes. You all are awesome. I wish I could share some jam with you 😉

Wow, congratulations! The best part is come, December or January to get up in the morning when it’s bitter cold make a pot of coffee or tea and a couple of slices of toast. Crack open a jar of the berry jam that you made in July, that tastes just as fresh as the day those berries were picked. Picked by tou, canned by you. It
