Domestic Divas

I was ambitious and purchased two big boxes of fruit one peach and one plum... not sure exactly what I was going to do with them. I asked Marcie for help and she she spent the afternoon showing us how to can fruit, make jam, make freezer pies, baby food and other fun fruit-filled activities. We completely demolished her kitchen, but had a blast discovering our inner domestic divas.

you are such a better mom than me :>) I have been meaning to buy that fruit for five years now, but I was never that ambitious! Good for you guys.

Your fruit looks beautiful. Hopefully Lyric will eat the baby food:) Amy you will have to come over next year. It's lots of work, but worth it all year!!

Looks like it was a ton of fun! I sure should have bought some of those boxes of fruit and learned with you all! Looks like a party and how cool that you know how to do all that fun jazz!

I'll get an extra box of peaches for sure next year! My sliced frozen peaches are going fast and I will miss them when they're gone. Yummy!!!

I bought a bushel of peaches this year and wish I would have had someone to can them with me (besides my two little turkeys). I did make some peach jam with a friend and it was a lot of fun. Good for you to initiate something like that and what fun new skills to have. What was in the ice cube trays? Is that baby food?
