One of the perks about the home we are renting here in Utah are the fruit tress. We have a giant cherry tree in the front yard and two apple trees in the back. All of them are producing lots of good stuff. Well one Saturday afternoon a big wind kicked up and blew most of the cherries down. We were sending the kids outside about every 15 minutes to pick them up before the birds got to them. So it was time to figure out what to do with all these cherries....besides eat them all till we are sick.
We bought a cherry pitter tool at the store, not sure what the correct name is and for family home evening we all helped can the cherries. Bryan was the official pitter, the girls were the sorters, Brody was in charge of filling the jars, and I just took pictures....ok not really, I was in charge of making syrup and all the other steps involved with canning. We have already had a couple of cobblers and they were delicious.
