A Jelly Good Time!

Monday night a few of the girls got together to learn how to make homemade jelly. Our friend Amy agreed to help us seeing as how she had done it before. We all gathered at the church and brought the fruit we wanted to turn into jelly. Julie and I brought strawberry, Jenni brought peach, Amy brought mango and Kathryn brought a little bit of everything including raspberries. Here we are cutting, mashing, cooking and adding more sugar than you want to know (let's just say it's about accurate to say that for every cup of fruit there is 2 cups of sugar or more!!!!).

Jenni helping me with my strawberries. We both had enough fruit left over to combine ours and make a batch of strawberry peach jelly! MMMmmmm!

We celebrated a birthday while we were there too! Kat's birthday is today! Happy birthday friend! How many birthdays have we celebrated together, girl? Like 10 or 11, huh? Either we've known each other a long time or we're getting old.

Here's the finished product. Look at all that jelly!! If you need some yummy jelly then you know who to go see.
We had such a fun time together! This picture took forever to take because we were laughing so hard that we had to keep taking it over and over. We finally got it! Thanks girls for such a fun memory!!! I think we started a tradition!!
