Making sour plum jelly today! My favorite!! It always turns out the most beautiful shade of pink and tastes just perfect!!!! I have a "flowering plum tree" and it gives me more plums than my regular plum tree. I think it has to do with being really lucky and living next to a neighbor that has 4 honeybee hives by my fence line. Everything gets pollinated !

I wouldn't want the bees living so close to me but I sure would love the benefit from them. Yes, sounds yummy!!

I really love canning!! My favorite little farm store just opened and it is just down the street! It is like having a farmer's market that is open 7 days a week. They only stay open from July to November so during that time I really make a lot of trips there. I have canned the neighbor's bing cherries and yesterday I did 2 batches of sour plum jelly. Next on my list is Spicy Pickled Okra!! The farm store got in boxes of small okra pods, just perfect for stuffing in a jar. Bare (or is it Bear) with me for the next few months as I have Canningitis! I will get sick of it as the season goes on but for now I am going crazy!

Here are a few pictures of my treasures. I may be weird but to me filled canning jars are like the most beautiful jewels. I could decorate my house with their pretty colors.
