Canning cherries is the COOLEST! I'm totally hooked! I'm honestly looking forward to the next harvest, so I can Can some more! Can can? Did I just type that?
My blessed Sista Hanna drove over to help (thank you!!) (I love that she has her drivers license now) and she and I spent 9 hours washing and sorting cherries.
Then Karla came over and we got half of them canned. It was awesome.
The next morning, the kids and I were up and at'em and I stuck Jonah in the sink so I could clean up the work space before we started the next half.
Ok, so I loved canning. Hanna on the other hand...
Karla: "This job is 'the pits'!" (hardy har har)
Just kidding. They really did love it. I promise. I think.

Just kidding. They really did love it. I promise. I think.And then, in one batch (and apparently this happens sometimes) one of the jars exploded. Yes, it's true. The bottom burst off. So when I opened the canner, this is what I saw!
Poor old Gal, apparently she didn't like her bottom anymore!
This is almost half of what we did.
If I never see a cherry again, that would be fine.
Aren't these pretty?

Just close your eyes when you eat their deliciousness in the future. They are gorgeous and I've never canned before so I'm in awe.
