Cherry Jam Time


This week I went to the local farm market and bought two baskets of cherry "seconds", the kind of fruit that is not so pretty but still so tasty.  I came home and spent that night painstakingly slicing the cherries in half so I could remove the pit.  I can see why people invest in pitters!  The next night I made a round of jam with the first basket and just canned the other basket as cherry halves.  We have 11 jars of jam and 3 pint jars of cherries.  I am considering going back and buying more.  I took a jar to the nanny family and they loved it!  I love that kids will give you an honest opinion and not feel obligated to like something.
I will definitely be going back to the market this weekend.  I might buy cherries, or whatever else I think is cann-able.  Let the jamming season begin!
