I can see one turkey named Thanksgiving, and another named Christmas :-)<br /><br />There's never a dull moment living out in the country, and there's always work to be done. Prioritizing is the name game for us as well. <br /><br />Cherry Bounce sounds yummy. <br /><br />Hugs,<br />SandySandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-83266710753630272162017-07-21T13:58:43.231-04:002017-07-21T13:58:43.231-04:00Cherry Bounce is a cherry cordial - there are many...Cherry Bounce is a cherry cordial - there are many recipes online for it and your Bounce can be flavored by any variety of booze - I used vodka because I had it and because I'm frugal...basically, in a half-gallon jar you mix 2-3/4 cups of sugar with 1 cup of booze (your choice - vodka, whiskey, scotch, rum...) and dissolve as much as possible. Then you take one pound of cherries, stems removed, make a couple of tiny slits in each and add them to the sugar/booze. Add 3 more cups of booze, stir up well, cover and let sit in a sunny windowsill for one week. Then remove your jar to a dark, cool cupboard for 40 days. Set a strainer over a pitcher or container and strain the bounce. Let it set for a day or so and then decant, careful not to get any sediment into the final jar. They say to discard the fruit but...really?

I still have plenty of spiced prunes, which is good; looks like a rest year for our prune trees. We are going to be really short on berries for the freezer; Rick didn't wrestle his patch into shape and production is WAY down. :-(Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-65111797714911359972017-07-18T12:35:44.081-04:002017-07-18T12:35:44.081-04:00That's an excellent idea.

We ate maybe three or four spoonfuls out of one jar. Those other jars sat on the shelf for years. Sometimes I add things to my list that I have already done, just so I can cross them off. -Jenncoffeeontheporchwithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618627688821849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-74190175624517489462017-07-17T18:03:04.797-04:002017-07-17T18:03:04.797-04:00I can't make any more strawberry jam this year...I can't make any more strawberry jam this year (even though I have strawberries coming out my ears) because we have so much left from last year. Well, it is my hubby's favorite and I didn't want to run out. (Fat chance.) My favorite is now blueberry and I'm down to a measly 6 pints of that (probably a year's supply for me, easily) so I'd better make three or four more dozen this year. ;o)<br /><br />I'm really embarrassed when I look at last year's Summer List and realize the same dahm things have been on there for 10 years or so. Glad to know I'm not alone in this arena. (Yeah, misery loves company.)<br /><br />The caption for the llama picture is, "Don't you like my new hat?" Looks to me as if she's wearing some of those tiger lilies.<br /><br />We don't have wild turkeys here . . . although hubby just read an article saying they are moving northward, so who knows what the future might bring?Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-62647481920970694362017-07-17T16:48:00.472-04:002017-07-17T16:48:00.472-04:00I love my ginger-rhubarb jam!

I think Vodka...Poults! Thank you for the lesson! :)<br />I think Vodka should taste good, you'll emphasize the cherry flavour that way. Trust me Susan, we had a rough time parting with the rye. We can't get a lot of the good bourbons and ryes here in Quebec and Bulleit is one of those ryes that is hard to find. But we really wanted to see how it would taste considering the flavour profile of the rye. I can't wait to read how yours does!!Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-14594538257155465252017-07-17T15:08:23.274-04:002017-07-17T15:08:23.274-04:00The only thing I have on a list of any type that i...The only thing I have on a list of any type that is that old, is to learn to keep my mouth shut.

Anything that can wait, does. Sometimes for years. The oldest chores on my list right now are from 20 years ago.
