August 2, 2013


when the fruit gets ripe, we pick and freeze it....then we set a weekend
aside to turn it into jelly.....this past weekend was a rainy one so we played
in the kitchen...


here are the freezer bags of strawberries, black raspberries,
cherries (tart and sweet) and blackberries


Strawberries: 6 pints
Black Raspberries: 12 pints & 10 half pints
Blackberries: 9 pints & 11 half pints


Cherry (we mix the tart and sweet together) : 15 pints & 11 half pints


one of the plum trees in the orchard, that has never given fruit before...gave us a whole basket of plums


from this......


to this...... Plum Jelly: 17 pints & 12 half pints

so.......103 jars total.....not bad considering that we haven't
started doing anything with the apples, pears or peaches yet!!!

Pleasant Dreams!!!
