freezer jam


Tip #2
This is my recent replacement of paper plates (shhhh... don't make me feel guilty, yes sometimes we use paper plates) - $11 for 1000 sheets

pre-cut deli wax sheets at sam's club - dry wax that is water and grease resistant, so you can plop the sandwich and chips right on it and crumble with crumbs included and toss after. So far We've used them for sandwiches, chips, pizza and ranch, apples, and toast.
I think they'll be great for crafts too!

Tip #3
When making something - make a lot!! - your work will go a lot further.
Making refrigerator dough? make two batches
Making sandwiches for school lunches make 30+ and freeze them
Making soup make a double batch and freeze half for later
Making pie or pizza crust - make six and freeze the extras flat

Here I am making 3 batches of freezer jam:

3 packets of pectin and 2 1/4 cups of water - which if there is any left is on clearance at the Kroger on Custer for .69/box

6 cups of berries (mostly strawberries and a little blackberries and raspberries) + 12 cups of sugar and a little lemon juice)
plus pectin mixture =
FREEZER JAM
