It started when Grandma picked her Green Gage plums...She brought us a six gallon bucket full. Me, Daniel and Mom Started making Jam. Daniel loved turning the handle on the grinder to grind up the plumbs. I was very impressed with his stamina and patience. Sadly I didn't take pictures of us actually bottling anything but I did take some pictures of the kids picking crab apples. In the end we did several batches of plum jam and crabapple Jelly. They both turned out very well and it was fun to do. I think it would have been miserable to do it by myself but it was fun doing it with Mom. We planned to do applesauce as well but that got pushed back and then we had Jakes wedding. The apples may still be good, but probably won't get done :( we are too busy now. Daniel and Leah loved picking fruit. Leah is a huge apple fan. She has enough teeth now that she can eat the whole thing and she does. Daniel doesn't like apples so much but he was more than happy to pick them for Leah.
