I'm using my pressure canner as a water bath canner for a bit today. Aldi's had big fat blueberries on sale for $1.49 a pint, so am now making blue berry jam - ohhh, my kitchen smells so good !!!

I cheated and used the vita mix to crush the berries, LOL. The NCHFC said their recipe made about 5 1/2 pints, more or less; I ended up with 9 1/2 pints using their amounts and a dab more. Not complaining though, but if the rest of the blueberries do the same increase, I'll end up with 27 1/2 pints of blueberry jam.

I tend to share with friends and the college boys next door, too. They are some nice boys.

I need to go sniff in my kitchen again.
