I pulled my cherries out of the freezer the other night, and got out my new cherry pitter. I pitted the fruit until I had a full quart of pitted cherries and then I tossed in a small handful of raspberries I had picked that same night. I was going to include a number of blackberries, but my wife ate them while I pitted the cherries. :D
I ended up water-bath processing 7 four-ounce jars, 1 half-pint jar (shown in the photo), and two jars that went straight to the refrigerator. It’s delicious jam!

I enjoy visiting your blog! Canning is something I hope to try this year and appreciate reading your recent post. I am learning there are so many fruits and veggies you can do this with! I have been finding a lot of great recipes lately, can’t wait to try with my cucumbers in late July. I also really like your design for your trellises, nice and sturdy! What an inspiring idea to try! Looking forward to following your blog!
Happy Gardening, Sheryl

Thank you Sheryl! If you page through my archives in the canning tag, you’ll find at least one thorough tutorial (tomatoes) and a few more pages where I go into a bit of detail about the process. I’ll do another post like those this year.
