A Jam Session on Tuesday

 

Jars of Peach Jam

Tuesday evening, after daughter finished her work day, we had a jam session!  Yes, we made a batch of peach jam for  gifting this holiday season.  I like the 4 oz. jars when making jam to give as gifts as I plan to make about three varieties of jams from homegrown fruit and a set of three small jars filled with three varieties of jam makes a nice gift, I think.  Daughter helped with the jam making and I'm pretty sure that she will be taking over the jam making in the future.

In addition to making jam, I did a load of laundry, made some phone calls to schedule a medical appointment and to have our damaged yard waste bin (the lid has broken off) picked up and a replacement yard waste bin delivered, next week, and cooked a dhal curry.

I had toast with peanut butter and pineapple jam for brunch on Tuesday and daughter finished the fried rice I made on Sunday.  Dinner was rice, chicken curry, green beans, the last of the okra, dhal, and peach chutney (a previous year's batch).  

We were both tired after making the jam and washing up and cleaning the kitchen, afterwards.  But, we are happy to have all the jars of jam cooling on the dining table and listening to the pings as the jars sealed.  

On Tuesday, I was grateful for:

- Several jars of peach jam
- Daughter's help with making the jam
- Getting several tasks crossed off my to do list
- Getting started on making my holiday gifts
- Working appliances

Tuesday's joyful activities included jam making with my daughter.

Plans for Wednesday include going for a lab test, M tending to the garden, and processing more peaches!
