The main problem around here with peaches is that it always gets a warm spell early in the spring, sometimes long enough for the peaches to bloom - then it will hammer us with ice and we will lose the crop. :/

Hopefully today will be a jelly/jam day. Planning on Watermelon jelly, Black Raspberry jelly and Black Raspberry jam (from last years frozen ones).

It is also dump day here so we will see what I get done. :p

Making strawberry/rhubarb jam. The strawberries are fresh and the rhubarb was left from last year. I also found some frozen bags of concord grapes hidden in the deep freeze. I am thinking of making a red wine jam since I also have some red wine frozen in ice cube trays (leftovers from a party...used some of it for stew).
