Jelly and Reese's Bottom

Friday after school I went to Grandma's house to help make grape jelly.  We cut two heaping bowl of grapes. Then we washed and plucked the grapes off the vine.


Second, I had to cook and mash them on the stove.  Then, Grandma strained them and put the juice in pitchers in her fridge. Saturday morning I started with cooking and stirring the juice while Grandma dumped a bowl of sugar.  Grandma heated the jars and lids and we sealed them.  We finished off with nine jars of grape jelly.

Saturday afternoon I made Reese's Bottom Cheesecake.  It was very simple to make.They were yummy!!!

 
It has been a really hot week.  The brown chickens have been staying inside all day.  The white hens take the shade from the building.  Here's my rooster which I have decided to name Custer.  He is trying to crow but it sounds like a sick hen instead.  He's been working on it for a couple of weeks and he hasn't improved.
