Every day brings a lew milestone.
Kids change more in their first 3 years than they will the rest of their lives.
It’s like watching miracles unfold.
Wear your camera out during his visit.
And don’t forget to keep a burp cloth on your shoulder at all times.

I was up until 4 am making blueberry and pinapple jam the other night.
Next morning the blueberry was firm but the pinapple sloshy.
It firmed up by the time I got off last night.
Pinapple Jam.
Double batch.
2 cans of Dole crushed pinapple in juice
need enough water to bring the total volume to 6 cups.
2 boxes of powdered sure gel.
6 cups of sugar.
Stir in the powered sure gel..bring to a rolling boil that you can’t stir down.
Add all the sugar stirring constantly until it comes back to a rolling boil.
1 TBS of butter will help keep the foaming down.
Boil stiring for 1 minute.
Remove from the heat and jar it.
Water bath process for 10 minutes.
It made 13 1/2 pints for me.
Just enough for my sisters and special friends.
Took the pot scrapings and made just 1 jar of blueberry/pinapple..Should have made more.

I thought about the combo before I made the jams.
I didn’t want to try something “innovative” when they were intended as gifts.
All food experiments get taste tested on Tazman first.
