I'll let you know when we make some. It's usually a Christmas present for family too. The kids pick them, I wash them, they mash them, and all help with 'putting them up'. We did peaches two summers ago too. That jam only lasted 3 months, and we made 40 jars of it. Everyone loved it though, so it was a great project. Plus, my oldest will help design the labels, and they get to print them off and stick them to the jars.
It's one of my favorite 'school' projects of the year...and soooo tasty to boot!

Get a big one! Mine *lives* on top of the stove (I keep a separate one for fish because, well, you'll see: you really can't ever get the fish smell out of it once its in there....). I don't even bother with the non-stick pans anymore: If its something that really shouldn't be done in an iron skillet (not much in that category, although eggs come to mind), then I have a couple of plain stainless Revereware's...
