I'm a little dab kind of canner. A little of this and a little of that. Today I am preparing cherries and strawberries for making preserves tomorrow morning.
I bought several pounds of cherries, and have eaten what I want so the rest will be used in chocolate mint cherry preserves.
1 carton of strawberries for cinnamon basil preserves.
Will put them up in 4oz jars, won't process, and will keep them in fridge or give away.
Have a blessed day, Sara ~~~ FarmGirl Sister #6034 8/25/14 Lord put your arm around my shoulders and your hand over my mouth.

Well, things didn't go as planned. I had forgotten about pitting the cherries, so instead of preserves I made cherry spearmint syrup to be used in summer drinks. Liked the way it turned out. 3 10oz jars
Used the chocolate mint with the strawberry preserves and it turned out really good. 3 4oz jars

Yum, Sara, your" mistake" sounds delicious too!! Chocolate mint cherry preserves sounds out of this world as well. I bet it is super good over vanilla ice cream!
