Good Evening my dears...
I seem to be posting more in the evening than mornings lately.. There must be a change in the seasons... smile.
What a perfectly beautiful day here today.. Thank you, Lord.
Terry and I went into the big city this morning... grin... We had to get a few groceries and lawn tractor parts.
I also had to buy a few cases of mason jars, cans of pineapple and strawberry jello..
Can you guess why? Right.. I wanted to make some of my
Mom's Rhubarb Strawberry Jam..
My cousin Val had phoned and said she had used the recipe off of
MY OTHER BLOG that I had put on there last year...
After we got home I made supper and then made the jam..
It is sooo good.. Val loved it, too..
Even if your rhubarb has been up for awhile I find if you check you can usually find enough firm stalks to make at least one batch
of this recipe.. Our grandsons love it when they are at the cottage..
I made two batches tonight and there were 10 jars per batch..
If you give the recipe a try then let me know how you like it..
Mom always put the berries in it and it is so much nicer
I went out and checked the herb beds, too..
My lovage (one of my favorite herbs) is coming up nicely..
I need to take a piece of it down to the cottage..
I love having tomato juice for breakfast and drinking it through a lovage straw... so good...
When we down to the cottage on Monday I went in the pantry just to check it and smelled a wonderful smell.
Terry had brought me down a large piece of lovage last fall with the blossoms all turned to seed. I didn't know what to do with it so I placed it on top of some dishes on the top shelf..
The seeds were still good and made the pantry smell so nice...
Here is a pic of the old pantry down there...
This pic was taken last summer, I think... It still looks basically the same.. I did take the white dishes there over to the shop to sell.
They are old... Do you girls like old dishes?
I think I am a junkie like my mother.. (Lord.. help me) lol.....
Well, ladies I hope I didn't bore you too much.. I suppose you have all quit reading this by now... grin..
Oh well.. Thanks for dropping by and you all know by now that I dearly love your comments..
Don't forget the giveaway..
May Jesus richly bless you all..
Hugs..
