That's my life 6 months of the year, several days a week. I made 38 jars worth of three different jams/jellies yesterday, half of them being pint jars. They need to be labelled and priced today, and some cleanup done.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938874724231860923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-67310590040754291922018-08-04T08:27:39.964-05:002018-08-04T08:27:39.964-05:00You worked hard for that traditional jelly.

It is a good feeling when the jars are all sitting in a row and the mess is all finally cleaned.L.

Her neighbor, who had success all the time, came over and watched every step of Mom's effort. The next day, the neighbor came over, picked up a jar and turned it upside down before Mom could stop her. They laughed while they cleaned up the floor.marluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15933107449114317646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-80998944926664435772018-08-03T13:58:15.112-05:002018-08-03T13:58:15.112-05:00First of all I love your kitchen.
