last week I thought I did well by finishing the orange marmalade that Stan started. Came up with about 9 1/2 pints of jam.
At farmers market this week, there was so much leftover. I brought home 2 gray bins that were half full of cherries, 3 bags of strawberries, 1 full of peaches and some other odds and ends like a handfull of apricots, nectarines, yellow cherries, plums and such. I think my eyes were bigger than my head...
so i planned when i got home yesterday...reading recipies and such - put them in one note and got started cleaning fruit when stan got home.
