Started on preserving fruit from the freezer in shelf stable jars for the pantry instead. My goal is to free up space so I can order a half lamb or a whole lamb. I found two large bags of rhubarb pieces, so strawberry rhubarb sauce is the first up. (blueberries will be next, and then plums)Two pounds of organic strawberries from the co-op were chopped and added, but since they weren't really all that ripe, I also added in a cup of cranberries to help make the color more red and less khaki. The cranberries add a bit of extra pectin as well. Five and a half pints, plus a little extra. It makes a great yogurt topping, and it would also be delightful in the middle of shortbread, like I made on Saturday...

today's gratitude - a day without curfew, and afternoon where I can rest, and an evening when I can walk outdoors (though for safety sake I only paced back and forth up and down my own street, as it was full dark before I managed to get outside)
