Tuesday, while I went in to work, Hubby finished picking the cherries, and he cleaned two bushels of them for me to cook down and make jelly out of.
So after lunch, and a previously scheduled doctors appointment, I came home and cooked the cherries down.
Once they were soft and juicy, I mashed them and then strained the juice, filled some nylon bags with the last of the mash, and tomorrow I will take all the juice and make jelly!
If you have never had cherry jelly, you have never lived. It is totally amazing and delicious! At least mine is!
Here is a jar from last year’s batch.
Wednesday is Weight Watchers and I sure hope I have done okay. Either way, I will report in.
Happy Wednesday!
FIRSTLY, good luck with WW day, I will be sending good vibes!
And those cherries, WOW is all I can say!!!
I prefer the cherries as they are. I am not a big fan of jelly.
But the cherries itself look delicious.
Good luck with WW!!
Time goes by so fast ! it seems to me that you were worried about the cherry blossoms and now they are already jelly, lol !
I have never had cherry jelly…something to put on my to-do list !
I´ve never had enough cherries to make jelly. I usually just gobble them all up, before they get to the stove…. 🙂
Good luck at WW!!
Love that jelly! It’s wonderful!! Love YOU, Mel
You know…I don’t think I’ve ever tasted it!
My mouth is watering just looking at the photos!
