See...aren't they perty? These were picked before we left for Mexico, but I had 12 hours and that's it to do them, so I froze them. They still look awesome!
ESSENTIAL for canning the lazy way! This is my steamer juicer. It is a life saver! (see the little tube hanging out...it is already full of juice. Make me smile...I don't even have to do anything to get it out!)
Look, I just fill the top (this has been steaming for a few hours so it is down quite a bit) with stems. leaves and everything, then steam away. All the work is done for me...leaving me time to blog about it! :)
Mmmm....look at how beautiful the juice is. Later, when I have more time, (WHAT?!?! Time?) I am going to turn this into syrup and jelly.
Soon, I will be done the apples this way, the cherries Mom's tree wants me to pick (except for the few I turn into pie filling), probably the raspberries that I have to pick but not the strawberries...they are totally going towards jam whole! (Whew, busy weekend)Have a happy canning season! (I will post about corn next week!) :)

I could eat so well at your house, mmmm, especially knowing you love dessert as much or more than I do.
After you told me about your steamer last year, I've been keeping my eye on them on Ebay. In may I found one super cheap. I can't wait to use it on my apples when they are ripe!
