The joys of preserving summer's harvest....

Posted on Tuesday, May 29, 2007 at 05:38

I can not even begin to tell you how much I love this time of year.  I am an avid preserver of the harvest.  Today, I have been working on red plum jelly....  The smell is heavenly in my house.  I have been cooking down red plums for jelly all day. 

These are some of my beautiful jars.  So far I have 10 pints of jelly made.  I have enough juice made up for about 10 more jars.  If we have nothing else this summer, we will have plenty of jelly to put on biscuits.  I also picked 4 squash out of the garden today and hope to pick that many more tomorrow.  We also hope to go and pick blueberries Friday.  The harvest is turning out very well so far.

Blessings,

Trixi

Wow! A picture says a thousand words! My mouth is watering. I think that kind of plum makes the prettiest color jelly!

All that jelly looks so good. I agree that its mouthwatering in appearance. I'm hoping my strawberries produce enough for just one jar of jam!!! lol.

Looking good !!!

You are making me want to try it again. I am not very good at canning but I am going to keep at it.

Good luck on the packing and moving. I will be following you as you go so try to post often until you have to pull the plug, lol !!

Talk to you soon!
