Strawberry Jam

My grandma and grandpa Eichers have always made the yummiest strawberry jam.  It has been a staple in my house for as long as I can remember.  We always have our freezer stocked with jars of jam. Personally, I think, that no other jam compares to my grandparent's jam. On Saturday, I had the chance to go over to my grandparent's home and help make jam with them.  I have always wanted to learn how to make their jam, so this was a special day. We spent five hours preparing the strawberries, making the jam, and pouring the jam into jars. It was honestly one of my favorite days I've ever spent with my grandparents. Being able to spend time with them and learn from them really made me happy.  I loved watching my grandparents make the homemade jam together.  After seeing how much effort it takes to make jam, my appreciation for my grandparents and the jam they have made for all of us our whole lives grew.  I am so lucky to have both of them still alive today, so that I can learn from them and spend time with them.  I look up to both of them so much and I am glad that every time I eat their strawberry jam or make it, I will always remember them and the great Saturday we spent together.
