Making Jelly

Sunday afternoon, our friend Rachel, and her mom, came over and made jelly with us. The photos might be a little out of order, but the idea's all there.

First, we have to have a picture of the empty jars, waiting to be filled...



and then we have Rachel's mom counting the jars, which are heating up on out wood stove so they don't break when we pour the hot jelly into them...


...and here we're mixing the sugar-pectin stuff and the hot juice...


...and adding more sugar...





...and this is my mom and Katrina trying to find lids and rings in our lids drawer...




...and here Jessica and Rachel are filling the jars and putting lids on them...
...and more of the same...
...and Annetta and Rachel's mom were putting them in the canner...
...and the finished product. Yum!!
