So I'm interested in grinding up some fruits (strawberries or whatever) and just throwing them in a jar and preserving them. Basically I want to make a jam without pectin or sugar. How terrible of an idea is this?

Yes! This is exactly what I was thinking! Thank you! I just went to the website and read through the instructions. Hopefully the puree turns out decent.

Oh excellent! One of the hardest part of a new hobby is learning all the terminology. I'll go read about purees right now. Thank you!
