Tuesday was the first summer-like day in NC: hot and humid. What better way to beat the heat than by canning? (*rimshot) Our fabulous neighbors have an incredible cherry tree laden with fruit. Lucky devils that we are, they gave us free reign to pick to our hearts' content. The first project - "Spirited Cherries."
My oh my. That's a lot of cherries.
Welcome back, canning apparatus!!
Cherries going into the boiling sugar/water.
Ahhh... An enormous vat of boiling hot water on an 85 degree, humid day.
Natural born canner.
Bee-you-tiful! Now we have boozy cherries for Manhattans and the like. Next up - sour cherry preserves.
