We made our favors this weekend! It was a lot of work, but ultimately I am very pleased with them. I really didn't want to do any favors unless they either meant something to us, or were specially made for us. Too often I have gone to weddings that give you something that is nice, but ultimately useless. Thus, food favors are a definite must.

We started with a bunch of strawberries:


Mashed them up (my favorite part!):


Added some sugar and pectin and cooked them for awhile...

Prepped some wee tiny jars for jam receptacles:


Filled them with jam:

Cleaned the jars off:


Lined them up on a tray:


And created a small army of cute little jam jars!


I'm really happy with how they turned out. The jam was delicious too! Hopefully our guests like the favors!

(Don't worry, we did process the jars. I just forgot to take photos.)
