I am looking forward to canning before Halloween. I have two gallons of thornless blackberries that are in the freezer from June. I hope to get half or a little more jars of what is in your photo. I enjoyed viewing. 🙂
This happened to me last year, is why I laughed...on the way to an appointment.
You got off cheap, it could have been "time to buy new tires" before Winter. 😉
