We took the kids to pick strawberries today. It was a good day to do it as there was barely anyone there. (So the kids weren't constantly in the way!) Took us a while but we picked 14 pounds and plan to make some jam this week- if the kids can stay out of them long enough! After doing some research this week, I found that virtually all pectin-which is in virtually all jelly, jam, and preserves-comes from apples. And I'm fairly certain Micah is allergic to apples. So now he can't have yet another while group of foods we thought were safe. My jam might be a little runny and take (quite) a bit longer to thicken, but it should be safe for Micah...assuming he doesn't have a strawberry allergy!
