Picking the cherries. It was so hot, that we all felt like we might melt.
Our cherry stash:
Washing the cherries:
Removing the stalks:
Bottling and preserving:
Ta da! 33 bottles of cherries:
I used a Fowlers Vacola preserving outfit to bottle the cherries. Incase anyone is unfamiliar with this, you simply sterilise the bottles and lids, fill with your chosen fruit and sugar syrup and then pop in the preserving outfit for an hour. It's really easy.
P.S. Struggling slightly with a migraine - I have a days worth of emails plus a few blog questions to answer - I'll hopefully get to them tomorrow afternoon.
