It's that time of year again! Actually canning came a little early this year- My friend Vicki has a cherry tree that went crazy this year so she let us come pick. After 2-1/2 hours of picking endless cherries we got app. 7 gallons worth. It didn't look like alot but after cleaning, pitting, canning, drying, freezing, pureeing (sp?) it was plenty! I ended up getting 28 qts of whole cherries- 2 broke :( 7 pts pie filling- 1 broke :( :( 3 things of fruit leather, 4 trays dried cherries, 1 gallon bag frozen, & app 1/2 gallon still to eat fresh! ! Whew! Aundrea helped alot cause she's working on one of her Personal Progress projects. After dinner we had cherry smoothies!
Thanks Vicki for the cherries & thanks to Lil O for helping me & Aundrea pick them! all!!
Ooh yummy! Way to go Mel!! You're so domestic. :)
ReplyDeleteHurray!!! I'm so glad you were able to get so many jars! I'm sure your family will love them. Zander loved them right off the tree *smile* Lil O loves climbing the tree to help out, maybe he just loves to climb trees. hehe no, he's an awesome helper, he also got to log some service hours for one of his merit badges :)
