It’s because you don’t have a PFM. Did yours recently expire?

We have had a bumper crop of blackberries this year ( unusually wet year) the years before that, they shriveled up before even turning dark

Thank you. I believe it is a MONEY MAKING THING. For years
I have had my email....and NO ADS. NOW ads are appearing in all that I DO. WOW. I TRIED TO check my settings and nothing
was different. The Advertisers are different. Thanks for letting me know..I believed it was just ME. The world has changed in
MANY ways...and NOT for the BETTER. Aria

Good morning, everyone.

The cheese making supplies should come today. I’ll get started on farmhouse cheddar later.

I view "invasive" as prolific. If I had them,, and liked them,, I would not try to get rid of them.
You can always resort to the chainsaw if it gets out of hand.

Prolific turns into invasive quickly in the PNW!

Sure! Original recipe is here. I saw it and thought, ‘that looks fun, I could do that’ and I recently got a cherry pitter so I figured I’d try it out.

But I made some tweaks to the recipe. I didn’t have any brandy but I had some vodka I use for making extract so I substituted that, and tweaked a few other things. The ending ingredient list looks like this:

4 cups pitted black cherries
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 cup water
1 cup vodka
1 t vanilla
1 t cinnamin

I added the cinnamin in with the sugar and vanilla. I ended up with two jars of cherries and a third of leftover syrup, hopefully they’ll work out or at least be really obvious if they go bad; it said it’s not supposed to be refrigerated and I’m not used to doing that for anything but dried herbs.

Thanks for the recipe!

Change of plans. I will be making 30 minute mozzarella today instead of farmhouse cheddar. The reason for this is that I need to test and see if the rennet is OK while it was shipping. It’s been pretty hot, so I need to see if it’s still OK. Once I verify that the rennet is in good condition, then I will make farmhouse cheddar soon.
