Apricots from Utah found their way into our kitchens this year. They were big, beautiful and oh so sweet. Taya and Jade were up for making some jam for their pantries, so despite the heat and “break dancing” in Richard and Stacie's front lawn, we made jam. A couple of days after picking up the fruit, Jade was going over to help Stacie with something and walked across the front lawn. She found a little pothole and down she went. A pretty painful experience. Fortunately she was teaching nails at school that night so she could prop her foot up and keep ice on it.
We did the jam in two sessions as we couldn't get our schedules to mesh, so I helped with the standing up part of the canning for Jade while she did what she could sitting down. Taya came over the next night and she pretty much did hers with just some coaching on my part. Each girl got 19 pints of delicious jam and Taya took home a few to eat. Not bad.

That foot looks painful!! Hope she's doing better. You must be proud of your girls learning to be such good little jam makers.
