I finally had some time in the kitchen yesterday afternoon. It seemed that all the chores had been done - ok, that never happens, but MOST of the chores had been done. Big John was getting the boat ready for a day of fishing, so it was time for me to get something done with all those dewberries.
Everything went well. The boiling berries didn't splatter past my oven mitt (man, that hot berrry juice hurts) and I heard 6 "pings" a few minutes after I took the jars out of their water bath. Now all we need are some homemade pancakes. Pancakes and dewberry jelly - it don't get no better than that!
One gallon of berries down, a freezer full to go. I'll have plenty to do this winter!
