JAMMING!!

 Well, there has been quite a lapse in my blogging, but I'm back at it with the latest project.  Making JAM!!

My friend Margie (who also happens to be my daughters mother in law) has a couple of plum trees and they were ripe for picking!

Joni, my neighbor, Margie and I had such a fun morning making 

JAM!!

First we ha to chop them all up!

They were such a beautiful color!!

Then it was time to cook them down a bit.

 Then we added sugar and pectin and cooked it until it was nice and thick!

Meanwhile the canner was starting to 

boil 

and 

steam 

with nice hot water!

The lids were ready!!

 The mason jars were so beautiful!!

Yea for Kerr!!

We kept filling,

and filling,

and filling.

 
Yummy!!

Plum Jam!! 

Oh, and one more thing,
LUNCH!!
