STILL AT IT....

| Plum butter cooking on stove |

| Plum jelly Yes, I am still at it. We (Ritzy & I ) picked the rest of the plums from Dad's tree today. It is 1:49 am and I am waiting on the butter to cook down. It's been cooking since 8:30. I think it's about ready. The jelly making was interesting tonight. Everything was going fine until I poured the first 4 jars, I was getting ready to tighten the lids when I must have pushed the board too far and it fell into the sink, sending 1 jar full of HOT jelly in the floor and one in the sink. I managed to save 2 jars. I was just standing there looking at the mess and pretty disgusted when I realized that I ought to be thankful that the jar of HOT jelly did not fall on me. It would have been very painful. So.................I commenced to cleaning up the mess. I think I mopped the floor at least a half dozen times to get all the sugar off it. It was nasty... I cannot believe I am still up at 2 am. I have studied my Sunday School lesson while waiting on the butter to cook down. I loaded the dishwasher and washed a load of dishes while I took my bath. I also had to put my kitchen rug in the washer to wash all the jelly off it. It is laying in the laundry room drying now. I have had a very busy day today. I made the daughter something for her and the boyfriend's apartment. I also made him something to put in the bathroom. He has it decorated in a John Wayne theme. After finishing those little projects I started in on the jelly making. I had not been outside all day, so while the plums were cooking on the stove I went out and sat in my swing for a few minutes. It was about dark and by that time it had cooled down enough to be comfortable outside. Well I am going to see how close that butter is to being done, because Ritzywife is about done................ Ritzywife out.................... |
