Gooseberry jelly and strawberry jam

I got a chance to make gooseberry jelly and strawberry jam today, while Ned took Mieka on errands. My mom and I worked hard to snip off all the stems and tails from the gooseberries- A LOT of work! The end results are good though..... a tangy jelly with a pretty golden color.




My parents returned to MN today too. We're sad to see them go! We had a good visit though and will see them again soon, hopefully.
