Freezer jam always seems to capture the real essence and taste of the fruit used, especially when it comes to Strawberry Freezer Jam.

Grape Season Means Making Wine At Home

It is Grape Season!!! One of my very favorite times of year. Why? Because we make wine at home! My parents have made wine at home for many many years…As long as I can remember, actually.

We pick up about 4 bushels of grapes, and use the grapes we...
