I&#8217;ve made strawberry jam a few times, and it&#8217;s delicious, but lots of trouble to make. It&#8217;s much easier to grab a jar from the grocery store.<\/p>\n<p>On the <a title=\"AnnArbor.com website\" href=\"http:\/\/www.annarbor.com\/entertainment\/food-drink\/home-economics-the-costs-of-making-your-own-organic-jam\/\">AnnArbor.com website<\/a> today, Corinna Borden uses a spreadsheet to compare the costs of homemade blueberry and blackberry jams to organic store bought jams. She had enlisted her family&#8217;s help in picking the berries, and &#8220;I was hoping to show I am saving my family money by doing it myself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no sample spreadsheet to download, but you can <a title=\"view the cost comparison\" href=\"http:\/\/corinnaborden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/berrycomparison.htm\">view the cost comparison<\/a> online. Corinna even adds cost a per ounce carbon footprint to the jams, to see how that affects the totals.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline; border: 0px;\" title=\"jam01\" src=\"http:\/\/spreadsheet-day.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/jam01.png\" alt=\"jam01\" width=\"400\" height=\"246\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, it&#8217;s not more cost effective to make your own jam at home, according to Corinna&#8217;s calculations. However, she&#8217;ll keep doing it, because you can&#8217;t beat the value of the &#8220;priceless intangible benefit&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>__________<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever made your own jam?
