This morning I made a batch of Italian plum jam, did 2 loads of laundry, cleaned the kitchen. This afternoon my daughter's family and I helped a friend by turning her compost pile, it took two of us to move that pile over from 2 smaller piles (for 1 1/2 hours). Layering and watering, that was hard work.
When I arrived home, the rest of the bowl of plums were calling to me. So another batch of jam was made! I like to use my meat grinder on my mixer to keep the prep time down. Plums are my second favorite fruit for jam. If sour cherries were available I would be in heaven because they make the best jam! After folding the laundry all I could think about is sitting down.
My husband asks "could you make a blackberry pie if I pick them (7 pm). Really! My son pipes up "I will", he is a good son. Especially after he spent the afternoon chopping wood.
