That’s what MOMMA said when she found the berries were ripe enough to pick after we bought the plums on Thursday. She got up early Friday and started in. By the time I got back from dialysis the table was covered in 20 jars of topping, 9 jars of jam, 6 jars Chinese plum sauce, and 4 jars of Tangy plum sauce.
These were purchased at Ashton’s Orchards in Ortonville,MI.(No website)
Then we staggered out early Saturday to go to Pennel’s Farm in Vassar,MI,Stopping on the way at Rosati’s Marketplace to clear their shelves of jelly jars. We managed to pick 4 pints of blackberries(me 1/10) before deciding to buy ready picked reds.
We drove to a nearby roadside park and had a leisurely lunch before heading home. Then on to home and canning. By 10:25 we had 9 jars of blackberry and 29 jars of red raspberry jam cooling on the counter.
So despite what MOMMA said, it all got done!
