Congratulations on all those beautiful jars of jam AND on Post #500!!!! (picture balloons and confetti falling from the ceiling and me tooting a really annoying party horn...)
Wow - thatsa lotta blog posts!
I've been making strawberry jam but, woo, not on that MASSIVE scale! Love that you're sharing this art with your sweet grandkids!
:-)
Wow! 20# of sugar!!!! It looks so yummy, though. What a great group project. helped me remember canning with my mother-in-law.
Yummo! I'm still scared of "canning" (shouldn't it be called "jarring?") You rock, Ma! By the way, post #500 rocks too!! Yahoo!!
Hey Ken & Janice, Thanks for your nice comments on our blog. You have been very busy preserving fruit and making jam. While we have been up here in Oregon & Washington we have made several types of chutney. We find we don't eat a lot of jam, but chutney on meats or side dishes is delicious! Did a little of this when we visited Gary & Cecile in Estacada last week. We are so sorry that we won't be seeing you in Cascadia, and you are right, Michaela would have loved learning tole painting from you. By the way, we saw Paige Monday and she says "Hi". Sending hugs, Mary & Elaine
I wanted to return the blog visit and thank you for your lovely comment. I started reading your blog and had to stop here when I saw those gorgeous jars of jam. Beautiful! We planted a Stanley prune-plum last fall and I can't wait to be able to make some plum jam myself.
Wow! Beautiful jars!! I've yet to can plums. I bet they're delicious :)
