I Plum Goofed!!!

Same old routine this morning except I weeded my side of the ditch.  Why because I took a letter down to the mailbox and it looked shitty down there.  I didn’t do the road side because the County is supposed to take care of that.

Next came prepping for the peck of plums.

I started in about noon just as Jay left for dialysis.  I had two plum sauces and jam ahead of me.  I decided on the Chinese Plum Sauce first.  I managed six eight oz jars.  I then moved on to the Tangy Plum Sauce.  I did only one batch because I still have some on the shelf.  This made four eight oz jars. 

Then came the jam.  I got so wrapped up in pitting, chopping, cooking, then measuring that I completely forgot the pectin and the butter in the first two batches.  At least I got the last one right.  Consequently I have nine eight oz jars of jam and 20 eight oz jars of either plum jam or syrup.  I won’t know for a couple of weeks.  Just got too tired to think I guess.  At least Brandy knew what to do.

I finished up around 8:00 pm and as usual everything is under control except the kitchen floor.  But at least it isn’t as bad as last time.  I think picking raspberries tomorrow is not in the cards for this old lady!!
