We are located in the Midwest but spent several years in sunny California. We lived close to Watsonville -- Home of those great BIG strawberries. We would stop at roadside stands and get sweet jumbo strawberries (some of them the size of a small apple) for $8 a flat. That's when my family got hooked on fresh strawberry Jam.
Our local SamsClub had the jumbo berries and within just a few hours I had 3 quarts, 4 pints, and 4-8 ounce jars of beautiful jam...and oh is it good. Oh, and since oranges are a terrific value right now I also did a few jars of marmelade!
One of the products we sell is a collapsible wide mouth funnel and I was more than impressed with it's performance. First and foremost it collapses...easy easy storage (I still can't figure out what I did with my old one!). This funnel works for all sizes of canning jars and the large lip catches spills and drips -- keeping the work area just a bit cleaner.
A detachable screen is included with the funnel- so it can be used as a filter when putting liquids into jars. Again I used our SimmerMat product--and for the first time had no burnt or scorched spots on my pan.
Look now for great berry prices from the west as well as great orange prices from several places and put back some preserves NOW!!
