ghoti_mhic_uaitThere are cherries almost in need of picking and I have a backlog of veg in the veg tray and soon it will be blackberry time. My mind, in short, is on jam and other home produce. I've never made jelly, but am thinking of it; I've never made wine, but would like to try. That might have to wait until next year, though.

In other news, I still haven;t bought any yarn (although I did get some for school satisfying those urges), and my icon use count is at 92/133, and I have 5 free spaces (after a clear out in the last month).

I miss fresh sour cherries :(

Date: 2007-07-11 04:48 pm (UTC)We have two types; a red one, which is sweet and good for eating and cooking, which we have eaten raw and in crumble, and I have bottled and a black one, which is more bitter, and which I have made into jam.
I;ve never had a problem with jam not setting enough; I usually go the other way, worry, and add too much lemon juice!
