One of my MOMS Club friends sent out an email a while ago about purchasing berries in bulk. The local Rotary club was offering fresh picked raspberries, strawberries or marionberries for CHEAP! I bought 5lbs of raspberries for $11.
So the other day, I bought jars, researched recipes and canning methods. Last night I took out my big pot and got to work. WOW! It was easy. M and I had to switch off stirring the pot cuz it requires constant stirring until the berries boil. Well, if I wanted any arm hair I needed someone to take over.
Here is the result of my labor. I'm very excited that all the jars are sealed properly too!
OH! I had some on toast this morning for breakfast.....YUMMY YUMMY! Step aside Martha, I'm getting my canning on!
I love that you are posting pictures (even the raging case of pink eye :) ) Your little D is a cutie on that chair! Oh, and I am totally impressed by the preserves. I'm not that talented yet... it would mess up my sink!
