of berries producing about 4 jars of preserves sounds fantastic, and just about the size of project I'd like to take on. Your description makes it sound as easy as it is to those who know how. Not a joke, that's very inviting.

I've promised my husband we'll hole up without any outings for the next two weeks, but then, if, I'll go see what's being harvested at the produce market we like to drop by. All the talk of rhubarb right now has had visions of rhubarb and strawberries dancing in my head, though I won't be expecting to find rhubarb here in FL.
