My gracious, I have a lot of jam at my house right now. With the help of my younger sister (who is amazing, awesome, incredible, fantastic, and every other great adjective in the book), I got 13 dozen done today, added to the 13 dozen or so I already had at the house. Whew! (I also love that Jess consented to be paid in BBQ sauce). I've had to remove most of the family food from the pantry shelves, and am now storing it in an (until now) poorly used closet. This has given me more space for jam, but with 200 some odd jars on the shelves, I'm rapidly running out again! Especially since I really need to start making jumbo batches to keep up. This whole making of ten flavors in one day has got to stop. I'd like to get on some kind of routine where I make 4 or 5 flavors a week, just a ton of them, and keep stocked that way.
In any case, tomorrow's plan includes another overhaul of the utility room, trying to clean out that closet of the stuff we never use so I can convert it into a pantry, so I can use our current pantry for jam. Good gracious. Home remodel cannot come fast enough!
The cool thing is that I am now stocked with all twelve flavors of jam that I wanted to offer (this year at least!), and two of the three BBQ sauces. The last BBQ sauce is waiting to be Dn. John approved, which will happen (hopefully) on Monday. I'm making pulled pork (black bears, you are not invited) to have after Liturgy.
