Our cherry tree had been laden with fruit this year. We've been harvesting... our friends and neighbors have been harvesting... the birds have been harvesting. All have been harvesting and we've hardly made a dent in our cherry population. It's been a good year.As a result of all this delicious fruit on our hands, I've been doing a little jammin'...
I love making jam. There's a therapeutic value in it for me. It makes me happy to pick a piece of fruit, smash it, add a ton of sugar, cook it till the house smells of it's sugary goodness, pour it into a jars, and stare at its mouth-watering lusciousness. I don't even have to taste it to be satisfied -- although I do...
Once I get into the "jammin' mode," there's no stopping me. Next I took some of these...
and some of these...
and created these...
My next project? One of these...
Yum...
