Sorry to hear you are still without your gas stove/oven, Ditter. How much longer until everything is fixed and back to normal? Hopefully, soon.
You have the same prep job that my hubby has....chopper and clean up. When I recently canned a ton of plum jam, he was the pitter. (He was really sick of seeing plums, there for a while. Me, too :)
The way the rebuilding is going we won’t be back to normal for at least a month or longer. The rain that we had last week put everything off, they just started back on it today and only one man was here working.
( just between us I am tired of all the confusion, I need a trip). : )
