Cherry Picking

I had the privilege of going cherry picking for the first time in my life. I got to go with my dear friend, Holly. Caden tagged along with us on this picking adventure.


 
There was a 5-acre orchard which was supposed to be picked commercially but didn't for some reason. I knew the people who owned the orchard and was able to pick as many cherries as I wanted. In total, I think I picked about 70 or more pounds of huge, sweet, Ranier cherries! 

 Who doesn't love a boy with a bucket on his head?!  ;)


I froze several gallons of them, canned 12 quarts of them, made a couple cherry desserts and ate a LOT of them fresh. Yummy!  I can't wait to enjoy these throughout the winter.  :)
