Growing up in Michigan we often went to the berry farm to pick strawberries and at a nearby orchard you could pick apples, peaches and cherries. It is one of the things I miss about Michigan. My mother canned and froze all sorts of crops.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11765055414561998856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-35899255486771715752014-05-15T08:23:46.692-06:002014-05-15T08:23:46.692-06:00I remember canning cherries with my mom.

And the juice they produce is heavenly nectar! Canning whole plums is much the same. I just wish I could find free or very low cost fruit to can. All that grows around me is corn and soybeans. Got to get some trees planted in my yard soon!

The plums she canned always had the pits in them.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296050573667055406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-44338051789394642972014-05-15T07:41:09.383-06:002014-05-15T07:41:09.383-06:00Hahaha!

Looks like you and I went to the same drawing class. :) The story of your drawing is just as funny as your story of 100 pounds of cherries.<br /><br />Honestly, 100 pounds!?!? Craziness. I'm impressed that she canned them all, even with the pits. <br /><br />We had someone give us a bunch of blueberries upon returning from Michigan. Only 2 people in our family like blueberries, but lots of us like blueberry muffins. I spent a lot of time baking those things for the freezer.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.com
