Triple Berry Jam and "Friends"

              Its getting to be springtime around here and the grocery stores are getting a bunch of pretty produce especially fruit. They had a great sale of berries so i picked up a bunch and decieded to make jam. 
              Last year, I made blackberry jam but this year i decided trible berry was the way to go.
         While making jam, I couldn't help but be reminded of the friends episode called "The One with the Jam" . I love friends. I have seen every episode probably 100 times!! So i leave you today with a recipe and some quotes. ENJOY!

Monica: I'm going into business, people. I needed a plan. A plan to get over my man ... and what's the opposite of man? Jam! 

Joey: Remember when your mom would send you to the movies with a jar of jam and a spoon?
Rachel: (Pats Joey on the head) You're so pretty.

Chandler: Okay Joe, I gotta ask. The hot girl from the xerox place buck naked (He gestures with his one hand), or a big tub of jam (He gestures with his other hand)?
Joey: Put your hands together.
Monica: Hey, look at me! I'm making jam... been at it since 4 O'clock this morning.
Ross: Where'd you get fruit at four in the morning?
Monica: Went down to the docks. Hey, betcha didn't know you can get it wholesale.
Rachel: I didn't know there were docks.
