Cherry Jam Class

Our class for learning how to make cherry jam was a grand success. After four plus hours of pitting about 18 pounds of cherries and putting up 35 jars of jam, we had to say it was a lesson well learned. 
Some of the cherry jam we made with Agave which tasted just as good as real sugar. I'm not sure how MaryGail will remove the stains from her tablecloth as juices went in many places and pits were flying off in various directions, but fun and laughter and working together is what farmgirls are all about.

Thank you MaryGail for the use of your home and teaching us to make jam. Now if I could just figure out how to remove cherry stains from my hands, that would be another lesson learned.
