Made some yummy looking freezer jam and some dill pickles today! Can’t wait to try them! The jam I will be putting into the freezer tomorrow (has to sit at room temp for 24 hours) and the pickles will be ready to eat in 1 week. Relatively low cost if you’re not including the hardware.

Freezer Jam

• 1-16oz bag of frozen strawberries = $2
• 4 cups of sugar = already had on hand
• 1 box of fruit pectin = $2.09

Yielded 2 and 1/2 pints of jam for under $5!

Dill Pickles

• 3 lbs of pickling cucumbers = $3.27
• Mustard seed = $2.69 (didn’t even use half the jar)
• Dill seed = $2.99 (used the whole jar)
• Canning salt = $1.99 (only used a very tiny portion of this!)
• Vinegar = $2.49 (again…only used a portion)

This yielded 6 pints of pickles!
