Cherries

Today we traveled to Millers Orchards in Amherst, OH to give cherry picking a try.  This was a first time experience, but certainly not our last!  We had so much fun and came home with 39 pounds of juicy, sweet cherries.  

We then set up shop in the backyard, and everyone pitched in to help pit the cherries.  Our fair share of cherries was gathered and is now in the process of being stored for the winter.

The kids each had their own Cherry Chomper to help us pit the cherries.

Mike.... not sure there is anything else to say... lol

Team work... 

As I update this blog, Mike is finishing processing a wonderful Cherry chutney in the water bath.  He also made several batches of cherry jam, and some cherry sauce.  I bagged some cherries for the freezer.  I also made a run to Wal-Mart for more supplies, as he continued slaving over the hot stove top.
