Over the past week, I've dabbled in some canning. When Shawn's parents came, they brought some fresh berries from Oregon. We ate the blueberries fresh, but with the blackberries I decided to make some pancake syrup. I found a recipe on my favorite online site,
www.allrecipes.com and made it the other day. Then I water bathed the jars to seal them. Then a few days later I made some rhubarb jam, also from the allrecipes website. We've got quite a bit of rhubarb in our backyard, but I didn't want to use up all of our rhubarb in just one recipe, so I went over to one of Shawn's co-workers and harvested her rhubarb. She has a GIGANTIC patch that she inherited when she bought her house and she never uses it! So I helped her garden out this summer, and gave her a jar of jam--pretty good deal huh?
Up next, some strawberry rhubarb jam with fresh rhubarb from our garden.

Wow, great job Rachel. I hope to taste some when we visit the next time. Love, MOM
I am so jealous you have rhubarb. My mom brings it to me from WI. Her patch is now done producing for the year.
wow! My mouth is watering! Any chance of sending some to Texas?
