Pickles and Jam

I've been cooking a lot lately and doing a lot of DIY.  I'm getting tons of ideas from http://www.pintrest.com/ (my new addiction.)  Today my sister and I made homemade pickles and strawberry jam.  I've never canned anything.  It was quite the experience.  We ended up with 5 large jars of dill pickles and 5 medium sized jars of strawberry jam.  Yum!!!  Now just to get the pickle smell out of my house. ; )  It was a fun sister bonding day!

Our hard work.
