I spent the better part of this weekend finally doing some serious canning. Saturday we went to a U pick farm and picked ~15 pounds of blackberries, blueberries and raspberries. Saturday night I made blackberry sorbet and a 3 berry bundt cake.
Sunday I spent nearly all day washing and sorting berries and making and canning jam: 8 half pints and 2 pints of blackberry, 4 half-pints of raspberry and 4 half-pints of triple berry. (10 pints=10 pounds, which just sounds more impressive to me.) ;-) There was a brief break in the middle to walk to the grocery store and buy more jars. I also made a quart of blackberry shrub syrup, froze another quart of blackberries, and finally, made a bean salad for our lunches for the week and sliced some veggies for our braindead hummus dinner.
And it must not have been too awful, because I'm getting 7.5 lbs of nectarine seconds, 3 pints of blueberry seconds, and 3 pints of cherry tomato seconds tomorrow from a local farm delivery. I know for some folks that's not much, but I live in the city and I'm quite proud of myself.
