Wild Plum Picking



This week has flown by fast but been pretty productive. I finished quilting the damask quilt last night and will get the binding finished this weekend.



I  picked wild plums on Sunday, we have had so much rain this year, that the branches are loaded.
This is just one round of picking so far, there is probably 3 times this amount in green plums still on the branches.

I cooked down this batch last night and got exactly 6 cups of juice from the wild plums. I will come in tonight and make my first batch of jelly for this year.

Look how pretty that juice looks! I let the juice cool down and stored it in the fridge overnight I will take it out and warm it up and make the jelly from that, I normally go straight in and make jelly but was limited on time last night. I am hoping it does not affect the juice letting it sit overnight in the fridge.
