Cherry Jubilee

It's been a month since I blogged so first I need to make my apologies. Sorry I haven't blogged for a while. We have been super busy enjoying the summer and being with family.

While my mom was visiting we were inspired to actually pick the cherries off of our tree. Last year we had an abundance of peaches and I had no idea what to do with them so I watched them ripen and start to fall off, full of earwigs. This year I determined that I would try to do something with our crop of fruit. The year starts with cherries so this is the first time I have canned/froze/jammed anything in my life.




It was rewarding and we ended up bringing some frozen cherries to my sister's in Elko to celebrate the 4th of July. It was such a fun trip. I have to say the fireworks in Elko, NV are the best I have ever seen. Some pictures of our fun with cousins in Elko can be found here.
