Takin' on the Jellies

Ok, so it was really jam:-)  Rhubarb was on sale at the store and that is one thing I have NOT been able to find since being in Vegas.  I miss Rhubarb so much.  Plus strawberries were on sale.  So, after reserving enough of both to make a pie and a coffee cake, I invited some gal pals over and we had a Jam session.
I have canned before but never made jam, so this was a new experience for everyone:-)
