We have a special treat from our 5th annual Mayhaw Berry Harvest festival. David Ward and his brother made a video of the jelly making process. David makes his jelly from just juice and sugar, and they used a antique press to get a lot more juice that you would by hand-squeezing.
It seems that Nature picked this weekend to end the drought because it rained-a lot! People still showed up, though and the hayride was full every trip. We and the many vendors just waited out storms in our cars and kitchen. There were storms all over in this region of the United States and our ranch was no exception. We didn’t get the damage that other areas experienced, though, and we’re grateful for that.
A big thanks to Dottie Welcher for the photos.
