Homemade jams are the best thing in this world.
I'm shocked at how much people are willing to pay for home made jelly.........or any type of homemade item in general.
I love cooking from scratch. I will devote an entire weekend to cooking and fill the freezer. Then no matter what is going on, there is always something in the freezer for dinner, that is not full of preservatives.
The initial expense seems like a lot at one time, but when you break it down it comes out to practically pennies per meal.
