These were the berries from the u-pick farm. This is probably a year's supply of jam for a single person.As Laurie Colwin says in the excellent chapter "Jam Anxiety" (in More Home Cooking):
...I felt contentedly thrilled with myself, as if I had pulled off a wonderful trick. People feel this way when they make bread or have babies, and although they are perfectly entitled to feel this way, in fact, nature does most of the work. Jam making is, actually, a snap...

Okay, so jealous! You are such the Renaissance Woman - I seriously want to be you when I grow up. I know have the fever to can things like pickled asparagus for Bloody Marys (maybe because it is a Sunday morning!). I might have to steal this idea too! I cannot help myself, I want to be Karen.
Pickled asparagus--GREAT idea! I'm stealing it. :)
