STRAWBERRY JAM AND STRAWBERRIES & RHUBARB JAM, IN THE BOTTLES. Eight quarts strawberries, four and a half lbs. rhubarb & you don’t want to know how much sugar makes 42 jars of jam. The start of another season of jammin.
That was the output and a small amount of the hardware involved. There were also several bowls, 2 wooden spoons, a sauce pan, a small stockpot and several measuring cups. Not to mention 4 hands and 2 tired backs and a sticky floor.
Now for the catch-up.
She also keeps my elbows warm.
Me drilling plant holes for petunias using new auger, plants dug up that night by a mean ol’ coon.
The new Green Gage plum and Rochester peach. Sold my old Troy Horse & got an Electric Mantis Tiller, first use, dig holes for new trees and about 12 Lilacs. It’s a hoggin fool!
Now to make some insecticidal soap to deter the bugs on the fruit trees.
Almost forgot to post a pic of my new sdreen saver!
Oy how I miss home canned jams. My grandmother used to can fruit and jams and stuff all of her life, and when we would visit we would come home with arm loads of the stuff.
She and my grandfather met a married in Indiana, but they lived in Coldwater Michigan for quite a long time. I guess jammin’ and cannin’ is a Michigan/Indiana thing.
