Around the house . . .

I went to a local orchard on Saturday and picked 2 gallons of strawberries.  I made ten 4 oz. jars of no-sugar strawberry jam for Larry. I actually eat it also. We all know we don't need all of the sugars we eat. I used low sugar/no sugar pectin and Stevia.

Yesterday evening, I dehydrated three trays of sliced strawberries. I didn't want to do very many until I tasted them to see if we would like them. I also made 5 half pints and 3 4oz. jars of sugar sweetened strawberry jam with the rest of the strawberries. 

I think I will go back to the orchard and pick some more before they are gone. I want to can some strawberry pie filling but I need to order some clear jel to make it. Just got that ordered.  Then I would like to make some fruit leather (fruit roll-ups) also.

I did not make it to the sewing room at all. I finally got finished with the dishes and cleaning the kitchen at 9 o'clock and decided it was time to sit down. I turned on the Cardinal's ballgame and took it easy.

Happy snipping, stitching, and quilting.
