Well the jars are washed, the canner water heated, and the tea kettle ready to use on the lids  but the Momma is running out of steam!

Harlequin Pear Jam.

Yep seven 8 oz. jars of Harlequin Pear Jam made this morning.   Very tasty but very sweet also.  I used four of my many pears so the table is still half covered with pears to can but it is 83 degrees and climbing outside and my only air conditioner is in the living room window.    This does nothing for the kitchen temperature  so seeing the the pears on the table are still on the hard side I may let them sit for another day and try the Cinnamon Pears tomorrow.

I did manage to complete one White Christmas Tree ornament before the pears arrive.

The first of six.

They go really fast but the pears take priority.

I think I’ll lolly gag around for the rest of the day and start canning really early tomorrow morning.  It will be cooler and the energy should be higher.

Oh I manage to put up seven jars of Peach Melba Jam yesterday so that is one thing on the plus side!

Have a good few days and let me know ‘how’s with you’!
