The smell of win!

As hoped, I came home today to find the house filled with the smell of cherries and almonds.  When I pointed out how good the house smelled to my frazzled, cherry juice covered wife, she admitted that she was glad to hear that, because her scent of smell had stopped working a few hours before.

The results have been well worth the effort though:

6 Pints of Dutch Cherry Sauce(Cherry and almond to use as a topping/pie filling) and 5 pints plus a few 1/2 pints of Sweet Cherry Jam.  She had one thing of the Sweet Cherry Jam that didn't quite fill enough to can, so we already sacrificed that half jar on some bread, and it is AMAZING. 

Guess I can't complain too much about having to help clean the dishes afterwards...
