Second Batch

After eating a wonderful dinner tonight, Geoff talked me into going to the golf store. That is one place that I really don't like going to. I think the men that work there dread seeing me walk through the door. I am always haggling them about giving us a discount, and I always walk away with at least 5% off, if not more. Geoff knows now to let me do all the wheeling and dealing. In return Geoff agreed to go pick more blackberries with me. When I was little my grandparents had a huge garden. They would grow everything from okra to green beans. My grandmother would also can all kinds of fruits and vegetable. I remember walking through their damp, dark basement and finding shelf upon shelf of their home grown canned goodness. I have always wanted to try some of that stuff. I would love to have a garden, but seeing how my yard is 5x10 and is covered in moss, I don't think it is going to work out so well. So I decided to try my hand at jam. I picked up all the supplies at Walmart today. After reading the instructions on the pectin box, I was so excited that I could use the cute little plastic cups I got today for some quick and easy freezer jam.
And here they are, 5 cups up freezer jam, and I didn't have to boil the jars. The instructions are super easy, I would recommend everyone make some jam. Or at least try canning some fruit, that will be the next thing I try.
This afternoon I thought that one day this week I would make some bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches on some egg bread. So I through the ingredients into the bread machine and pressed start. But now I have jam to eat with the bread. I am so looking forward to breakfast in the morning.

After all the jam making, my blackberry stash is depleted, so I am sure that Geoff and I will be searching the neighborhood tomorrow night for more blackberries. Until next time!
