Genius!!<br /><br /> An now I have a few MORE tops than I did before, because I was washing the glass bottoms and broke them both when one slipped out of my hand right onto the other. ARG.<br /><br /> Sad they survived a hundred years (so says the internet) and I broke them. <br /><br /> But I still have 8 more and I'll be making sure to be extra, extra careful now.Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-76326859388911285002013-07-31T21:19:09.082-04:002013-07-31T21:19:09.082-04:00Oh, WOW!

I keep telling myself that once the house is fixed... and that's twenty years of non-fixable income we're talking.... then I'll make jams again. <br /><br />Although I do try to make sour cherry jam ( a family fave) and sometimes raspberry because I use raspberry fillings a lot.<br /><br />I love berries.<br /><br />Mary Virginia, how delightfully fun this is!!!
