Brandie, that pie looks incredible and I can practically taste the jam. While I’m not one to spend time in the kitchen (luckily for me, my husband’s a skilled cook and baker), I’m totally behind you on spending time doing things you love. Life’s too short to do nothing but work, no matter how much we enjoy our work. I carve out time virtually every day to knit (last time I did it was yesterday), it’s the perfect way for me to wind down. Knitting connects me with a wonderful community of knitters. And the big bonus is the hand-made items at the end!

Brandie, canning, freezing and pickling was a big part of my childhood too. I would help my mom and grandmother during the summers, to can and freeze tomatoes, peaches, green beans, corn, watermelon rinds, cucumbers and all kinds of other stuff we grew ourselves.

I have made preserves recently too and it’s really not hard if you know what you’re doing. Canning is a lost art, and sadly it is now mostly left up to commercial canneries. That pie looks amazing. I’m jealous though, because our blackberries are long over by now. (although I did make some delicious stuff with ‘em!)

Great post. It seems at times we get wrapped up in our daily grind and forget to do stuff we like. Bryans last blog post..Pottery Barn Spiral Votive Holder

Love canning, doesn’t it make you feel absolutely pioneer-like? There is nothing so wonderful as looking at all those jars and the terrific colors.

Wish I could make a good pie- just can’t do it- my crust is never right- Yours looks great- I also have memories of my Mother canning.
Thanks for sharing.

Looks so good! I’ll admit to being intimidated by canning as well, but love to eat what my MIL cans! The farmer’s market is a wonderful place for fresh, in season produce. Lovely post!

Blessings,
Stacey

Well if you got your goodies in Hood River…..My guess is you live Oregon. I am in Oregon as well. I miss being able to just pick my blackberries myself…when I lived in the valley. I live in central Oregon now. Your pie looks yummy. cherry
