I got the plums on the stove and it filled my biggest pot to almost overflowing...

... now almost finished, this is after the third boil...Now just once more and then to fill up the jars!!

You might remember that we usually get new flowers for the house each week and this week landed on some really interesting roses...I usually go for the yellow-orange variety but this just jumped out and was such a different shade of violet!!  They are really very fragrant also for store-bought flowers.
