It made me tear up, as my own mother has been gone nearly 37 years. I remember her hands, always busy with cooking and sewing. I know I don't have to tell you how blessed you are that you still have your mother. :) I hope Mother's Day was a special day for her and for you, too!

I do love making jams and jellies and have made all of ours for many years, but not without SureJell.<br />How long does it take to cook without the SureJell?<br />Your tribute to your mom is one of the most beautiful I have ever read. <br />Herbs are so rewarding to grow....most don't need good soil or much care. I so enjoy going out in the morning and picking them.<br />Oh, and I am starting a strawberry patch this year. Haven't had one since we moved to this house.

I had a pot of rosemary on the deck last summer & enjoyed using it in recipes.

Works slick, but I'd like to try the hanging method. I know it works perfectly for cayenne peppers, but that's because it's fall when I harvest them and the air is drier. It's pretty humid here in the summer. But I bet that fan might make up the difference. Great ideas!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping in today at Cranberry Morning.
