I did quite a bit of new food preparation today... Rainy day, playdate for the kids in the AM, then Kelly's nap and an afternoon of rushing to prevent food from going bad! I started with Canned Plums. I scored them, blanched them (with much better success than the peaches), cut them and packed them with simple syrup. I got 1 Qt jar and 1 1/2 Pint jar. A LOT of work even the skin peeled easily...they were baby plums so there were lots of them.
They look pretty though!!
I used the Time/Life Preserving book again and pretty much followed the rules for packing peaches other than the acid component (soaking them in lemon water first).
