Epic Fail-Epic Win

A friend of our's who has a catering company gave us a huge box of potatoes.  In my attempt to be domestic, frugal and prepared I tried  making my own hashbrowns.  I baked the potatoes first and then tried to grate them and put them on a sheet pan to freeze.  They were too gummy and sticky and froze into yucky dried out clumps.  So we won't be making our own hashbrowns I guess.

In other news I did make 22 jars of strawberry freezer jam.  I bought a flat of strawberries from Bountiful Baskets Easter weekend and made the jam on Monday April 1.  The berries were going bad pretty fast.  I didn't have room in my fridge though for them so that is probably why.  I forgot to take a picture before I put them in the freezer though. I didn't need to make strawberry jam, I needed raspberry jam.  I think I gave away about 6 jars but we still have lots and lots of jam.
